OREANDA-NEWS. 'Expert RA' rating agency changed the outlook for 'Sofrino Bank' from stable to developing, which means equal probability of maintaining and changing the rating in the mid-term. The creditworthiness rating remained unchanged at В++, which means acceptable credit solvency.

The Bank's low liquidity indicators maintained as of the monthly reporting dates in 2013, combined with the liquidity situation deterioration in the banking system in general, are the main reason for the rating outlook change. The extremely high reliance on individuals' deposits that can be withdrawn ahead of time according to applicable law, but are not taken into account as short-term liabilities in calculation of Н2 and Н3 ratios is typical of the Bank.
