The Okrug Governor’s press-service informs:

The International rating agency Moody’s Investors Service assigned the final rating in national currency Baa3 for bonds of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug.

Based on the information of the Regional Center of Investments, this world organization highly assessed the credit quality of Ugra securities and assigned the  rating of the so-called investment level to them. On December 18 the international agency Standard&Poor’s assigned the long-term rating of debt loans BBB- to three issues of priority  debenture bonds with the fixed coupon revenue. The high assessment of the securities means a high level of the development of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug.
