INDIA
S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook on India to positive from stable. At the same time, it affirmed their 'BBB-' long-term and 'A-3' short-term unsolicited foreign and local currency sovereign credit ratings:
- “India's robust economic expansion is having a constructive impact on its credit metrics. We expect sound economic fundamentals to underpin the growth momentum over the next two to three years.”
- “Regardless of the election outcome, we expect broad continuity in economic reforms and fiscal policies.”
- “Elevated fiscal deficits, a large debt stock and interest burden persist, but the government is prioritizing ongoing consolidation efforts.”
- “We therefore revised our outlook on India to positive from stable and affirmed our 'BBB-/A-3' sovereign credit ratings.”
