OREANDA-NEWS. 'Expert RA' rating agency upgraded 'GPF' creditworthiness (long-term creditworthiness) rating to A+, which means very high credit solvency, the third sublevel. The outlook is stable.

Moderately high profitability for 2013, high liquidity as of December 31, 2013, and low currency risks had a positive impact on 'GPF' rating.

The high debt level, low diversification by lines of business and the narrow geographic footprint restrained the rating.
