Malaysia Holds Its A-Minus Rating
Published 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
S&P Global Ratings has affirmed Malaysia’s A-minus sovereign credit rating with a stable outlook, supported by steady economic growth and gradual fiscal consolidation. But the assessment also highlights vulnerabilities, including rising private-sector external borrowing and the risk that elevated oil prices could increase the government’s subsidy burden. We speak to S&P Global Ratings about what could strengthen or weaken Malaysia’s credit standing, and what it would take for the country to secure a ratings upgrade.
