Serbia’s Rating In Comparative Perspective

Credit Rating History

 Standard and Poor's – In December 2016, the S&P affirmed Serbia’s credit rating at BB-, while outlook revised to positive from stable. Main factors which contributed to revision are Serbia`s improved fiscal performance and the prospects for further gains. The improved result comes from better collections of VAT and excise taxes revenues and higher non-tax revenues. This credit rating agency emphasizes improvement of Serbia`s CAD, and it is expected that the FDI net inflows will fully finance the CAD. The Serbian economy saw a continued recovery throughout 2016, with real GDP expected to grow by 2.7%.  Fitch Ratings – In December 2016, the Fitch ratings affirmed the Republic of Serbia credit rating at level 'BB-'. The outlook is stable. The affirmation of credit rating reflects the view that Serbia will continue to implement fiscal consolidation and structural reform program, as well as to continue EU accession negotiations and implement further the IMF reform program. The government of the Republic of Serbia continues resolving structural issues in conditions of economic growth based mainly on investments, public enterprises restructuring and FDI attraction. Fitch Ratings also emphasizes that the Serbia`s CAD has been fully covered by FDI inflows since 2015, leading to a gradual decline in net external debt.  Moody's – In March 2016, Moody’s Investor Service has changed Serbia’s credit rating outlook to positive from stable and affirmed Serbia’s credit rating at B1. Moody’s decision to raise Serbia’s credit rating outlook reflects primarily the successful implementation of the fiscal consolidation program and structural reforms, as well as enhancements to the quality of Serbia's institutions and improved economic growth prospects.
