Fitch Affirms Iceland at ‘A’; Outlook Stable
Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Iceland’s Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at ‘A’ with a Stable Outlook.
Iceland’s ‘A’ rating is driven by its very high income per capita and very strong governance and human development indicators that are more consistent with those of ‘AAA’ and ‘AA’ rated countries. A favourable demographic composition (the share of people of working age was 65% in 2020) supports growth potential. The rating is constrained by the high but declining public debt burden, the small size of the economy and limited export diversification that result in vulnerability to external shocks and balance of payments’ risks.
The economic recovery has strengthened over the course of 2022, underpinned by domestic demand and solid export growth. Iceland has been resilient to the...
