OREANDA-NEWS. Fitch Ratings says in a new report that Russian transportation companies' financial profiles may become weaker due to the economic slowdown. However, for the majority, they will remain adequate and not affect their ratings in the short term.

Most Russian transportation companies have sufficient liquidity to withstand the pressures of the current economic downturn. Downward revision of investment plans and in some cases lower dividends or an increase in tariffs will somewhat lessen the pressure on credit metrics.
