India's sovereign ratings by global agencies ‘utterly absurd’: Sanjeev Sanyal

08 Aug 2023 Evaluate

Sanjeev Sanyal, Member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, has said India should be rated at least one or two grades higher than what it is at present by global rating agencies in terms of sovereign rating. He added there is no reason for India to be at the bottom of the investment grade. He said India just about makes it past the investment grade in the ratings of the agencies, which is ‘utterly absurd’.

He said frameworks of the rating agencies should be questioned, and India should realise that those can be replaced with ‘ease’. He added ‘Why should we have to abide by rules and norms of the West, which we had no role in framing....just like the several indices where we feature below 100’.

Meanwhile, S&P Global Ratings has long-term sovereign credit ratings at 'BBB-' with a 'stable' outlook for India. Moody's Investors Service has a 'Baa3' sovereign credit rating on India, with a stable outlook. Fitch has sovereign rating at 'BBB-' (Triple B Minus) with a Stable Outlook for India. This is the last investment grade rating.
