S&P Upgraded India’s Outlook to Stable

Share Print 0

Standard & Poor’s (S&P) revised its outlook on India’s ‘BBB-‘ sovereign credit rating to “stable” from “negative” on Friday, leading investors to question whether a ratings upgrade near.

The revision was backed by an improvement in India’s external position and growth prospects and means it’s no longer on the brink of a “junk” rating. S&P was the last of the three main global ratings agencies with a negative outlook on India; Moody’s never changed India’s outlook, while Fitch upgraded it to stable in 2013.

While the risk of a downgrade is now firmly off the table, a lot more needs to happen before India gets a ratings upgrade, Radhika Rao, economist at DBS told CNBC.
