OREANDA-NEWS. 'Expert RA' rating agency confirmed 'Central Rostov Depositary' reliability (long-term creditworthiness) rating A, which means high reliability (long-term creditworthiness), with the rating sublevel upgraded from the third to the second. The outlook is stable, which means high probability of maintaining the rating in the mid-term.

The high ratio of equity to the fair market value of the securities accepted for depositary servicing, acceptable risk management and absence of debt had a positive impact on the rating.

Low customer base diversification and low profitability of the core line of business in 2013 were regarded as the rating-restraining factors.
