This event was preceded by the rating meeting with the agency held by Rosseti's financial unit management, where the holding's key performance indicators, the forecast indicators and development plans, in particular, as concerns digital transformation of the grid and legislative regulation of the industry, were presented. Similar meetings were held in the subsidiaries.

When the decision as to upgrading the credit rating and assessment of own credit standing was made for MOESC and MRSK of the Center , the agency noted the stable improvement of the operating performance and its strategic significance for the national economy.

"Upgrading of MOESC and MRSK of the Center's credit ratings is surely positive news for us and the investment community. Dealing with the rating agencies is among the top priority objectives for Rosseti Group. It is intended to curtail the debt service costs for all companies making part of the holding.
