The region's rating

International regional rating awarded by the Moody’s Investors Service agency on level A1 with a stable outlook.

The rating is an independent evaluation of the subject’s ability and will to fulfil future commitments, which is important particularly for rating the client’s creditworthiness when procuring external resources.

The awarded rating also fulfils the obligations stipulated by the credit agreement, which the region has concluded with the European Investment Bank.

Based on a regular yearly re-assessment of the region’s international rating, which took place this April, the agency issued an updated analysis on 9 May 2023, based on which the Moravian-Silesian Region retained its A1 rating with a negative outlook. On 1 December 2023, the agency changed the region’s rating outlook to stable.

The continued conservative style of managing the region’s finances, in particular the maintenance of low regional debt, continued good operating results and high cash reserves, influences the retention of the A1 rating.

The change to a stable outlook reflects the same change in the rating outlook of the Czech Republic of 24 November 2023 and the dependency of the region’s financial performance on that of the national economy.

The Moody’s Investors Service rating agency has been awarding international ratings to the Moravian-Silesian Region since 2005. In this period, the rating has gradually improved from A3 to the current A1.

The Moravian-Silesian Region thus has the highest possible credit rating in the currently defined model for financing of regions in the Czech Republic.
