MOSCOW, Oct. 12 - Moody's Investors Service has changed the outlook to stable from negative on the B3 long-term foreign currency deposit ratings of fourteen Ukrainian banks. The outlook on three Ukrainian banks' outstanding foreign currency debt ratings of B1 has also been changed to stable from negative.

These rating actions have been prompted by the recent change in outlook on Ukraine's sovereign ceilings to stable from negative. These ceilings act as a constraint for the foreign currency deposit and debt ratings assigned to banks.
