S&P cuts QIWI
S&P said it downgraded QIWI plc’s rating to CCC- from BB-.
“The multi-notch downgrade reflects our view that Qiwi, a Cyprus-based holding company, faces increasing constraints to meet its short-term financial obligations with investors, following deteriorated operating conditions in Russia and the imposition of capital controls. We expect these to have important implications for its key Russia-based payment services subsidiary, Qiwi Bank,” the agency said in a press release.
Qiwi’s RUB 5 billion bond due 2023, issued by Russia-based subsidiary Qiwi Finance LLC, with interest coupon payments denominated and payable in rubles is not rated by S&P.
The rating remains on negative watch.
