Standard and Poor’s maintains double-B Brazil rating, withdraws credit watch

August 16, 2017 by

International credit rating agency Standard and Poor’s on Tuesday night issued a statement reiterating its double-B sovereign rating for Brazil but withdrawing a “credit watch” observation. Withdrawal of the “credit watch” observation relieves Brazil of the possibility of a sudden ratings downgrade. Instead, S&P will maintain an “negative outlook” for the rating, meaning it can be revised downward but only after a process of review. In its statement, S&P said Brazil’s economic prospects were slowly improving while its political situation appeared to be more stable now than in previous months. S&P noted that Brazil still faces difficult fiscal and political problems, including persistent deficits and general and presidential elections in 2018. A double-B rating is two notches below investment grade.
