10 Apr 2015 Evaluate

Industry body, Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci) has lauded the affirmation of India's stable and positive sovereign rating by Fitch and Moody's and said that the move will uplift investor sentiment and help in attracting greater foreign investments across the board.

Ficci said that the affirmation reflects the improving outlook for Indian economy on the back of various reform measures taken by the government towards simplification of regulatory regime, maintaining fiscal and external balances and fostering a conducive business climate. As the government remains committed to the broad-based reform agenda, reaching the ambitious milestones of growth, employment generation and improved livelihood will not be difficult.

The industry body has further stated that to sustain investor interest, implementation remains the key. We hope that the reform momentum shall continue with an emphasis on long-term socio economic development.

Moody's has raised India’s credit outlook to ‘positive’ from ‘satable’, though its India's sovereign rating stands at 'Baa3', the lowest investment grade. While, Fitch, maintained its equivalent ‘BBB-‘ rating with stable outlook, but projected 8 percent GDP growth for the current fiscal, higher than 7.8 percent estimate of the RBI.
