In a positive development for the country, global rating agency, Fitch just right ahead of its annual sovereign rating scheduled for next month, in its report underscored that sustained fiscal consolidation, structural reforms and low inflation were positive for the country's ratings. The agency has allocated a 'BBB-'rating for the country with a stable outlook, which is the lowest investment grade rating.
According to the agency, while sustained fiscal consolidation or fiscal reforms would lead to a decline in the ratio of general government debt to GDP, implementation of structural reforms would raise the potential growth rate.Further, the rating agency also pointed that credible low-inflation environment will also be favorable for the rating. The agency, however, cautioned that a sharp and sustained external shock to foreign and domestic investors' confidence with the potential to cause external financing difficulties, such as an undue change in the monetary policy strategy was a threat for the country's credit rating.
As per the agency, India’s GDP growth is likely to be at 7.4% this fiscal and 8% in the next, based on new series. It suggested that government should focus on growth-enhancing reforms such as governance and investment climate; and infrastructure and inflation.
