Finally a good news. Rating agency Standard & Poor’s upgraded Greece’s status. We, Greeks, not anymore on ‘high risk of deault’ although we are warned about our voting behaviour and possible anger against austerity. Then this would throw us into deeper recession and that would not match to S&P desires. Talking about a rating agency intervenening in the democratic process of a country? Tsk Tsk Tsk….
S&P raises Greek rating, lifting it out of default
Standard & Poor’s raised Greece’s credit rating out of default territory on Wednesday, as expected after Athens slashed its debt by about a third by completing the biggest sovereign debt restructuring in financial history.
But the firm kept Greece firmly in the junk category with a CCC rating and warned that a deep recession, unpredictable elections on May 6 and popular anger against austerity could threaten Athens’ efforts to put its finances back on track.
“While the exchange has, in our view, alleviated near-term funding pressures, Greece’s sovereign debt burden remains high,” S&P said in a statement, adding that it expected the debt to stay as high as 160-170 percent of GDP in the next three years. (Further Reading REUTERS)
