what happened
Market Talk reports that Fitch Ratings kept Greece's long-term issuer default ratings at BBB and left the outlook stable. The agency said that although public debt is still high and limits the rating, its fast decline keeps improving debt sustainability.
Fitch also pointed to fiscal results that are far stronger than those of peer countries. It expects a general government surplus of 0.6% of GDP this year and a primary surplus of 3.6%.
why it matters
For investors, the decision supports the credit profile of Greek sovereign debt, since a stable outlook lowers the near-term risk of a downgrade. In the agency's view, shrinking debt and budget surpluses are the main arguments, and both matter for demand for Greek government bonds.
