Moody’s has today affirmed Citycon’s investment grade credit rating Baa3 with an upgraded outlook to “stable” (previously negative). The main factors for the changed outlook are the exposure to Nordic countries and Citycon’s tenant mix which is heavily focused on grocery anchors and other necessity tenants.  

“Our successful strategy and strong Nordic portfolio have demonstrated the strength of the company during the past quarters. Our results have been strong throughout the pandemic, and we have proven both our access to capital markets and the liquidity of our portfolio through the divestments of non-core assets.  We are pleased to see that these factors together, which truly differentiate Citycon, are also recognised by the market. We remain committed to our diversification through densification strategy and further strengthening the balance sheet”, says F. Scott Ball, CEO at Citycon.
