Finance Ministry to pitch for ratings upgrade with global agencies

28 Jul 2014 Evaluate

Confident over the recently announced budget proposals to bring down the fiscal deficit and to boost economic growth, the Finance Ministry is all geared-up to pitch for a ratings upgrade at a series of meetings with the global rating agencies during the next few months. Representatives from Standard & Poor's (S&P), Fitch, Moody and the Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCRA) are scheduled to meet finance ministry officials in next 2-3 months.

The government has decided to contain fiscal deficit at 4.1 percent this year and lower it to 3 percent by 2016-17. Furthermore, in order to promote growth and investment, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley during the budget 2014-15, announced measures such as increasing spending on infrastructure, introducing tax incentives for savings and investment and allowing greater foreign direct investment in insurance and defence.

S&P currently rates India as 'BBB-', the lowest in the investment grade, with a negative outlook and any further downgrade will push India's rating to the junk status, making it difficult and costlier for Indian entities to borrow funds overseas. Fitch has affirmed India's long-term foreign and local currency issuer default rating (IDR) at 'BBB-' with stable outlook, indicating low default risk. Moody's assigns a 'Baa3' rating on India, with a stable outlook.
