The rating announcement is being released outside of the sovereign calendar dates for UK sovereign ratings, based on the event of Moody’s decision to withdraw the ratings for its own business reasons.

Fitch

In order to comply with European Union sanctions, Fitch Ratings intends to withdraw its ratings on all relevant Russian entities and their subsidiaries. The ratings will be withdrawn in advance of the 15 April 2022 deadline imposed by the EU.

On 7 March 2022, Fitch Group announced the suspension of its commercial operations in Russia. On 15 March 2022, the EU announced a ban on providing credit ratings to legal persons, entities, or bodies established in Russia.
