Govt assures Moody’s that India’s growth story is credible

08 May 2013 Evaluate

In a move to check any more downgrade from rating agencies which would take India's rating to 'Junk' status, the government has conveyed to the international rating agency Moody’s that India’s growth story is credible, while admitting that are some problems that need to be tackled.

After the meeting with Moody’s, the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) secretary Arvind Mayaram said that we assured the rating agency that there are certain problems in the country, but the government is fully committed to take action and these problems will be fully addressed in the near future.

On the other hand, Moody’s representatives, raised concerns over the impact of the subsidy outgo for the Food Security Bill and on the overall subsidy outgo, besides targets of growth and fiscal deficit. The finance ministry told them that the Budget targets had been carefully prepared and there is no question about subsidy outgo.

Last week, Moody’s had said that India’s sovereign outlook was stable and did not warrant any action on the country’s credit rating in the next 12 to 18 months. In January, Moody’s had reaffirmed ‘Baa3’ (which is equivalent to BBB minus) sovereign credit rating for India that indicates investment grade but with a stable outlook.

Presently, the government is meeting rating agencies to improve the country’s outlook because any lowering in rating grade will take it to junk investment grade, making it difficult for the country to attract foreign investments or the companies to borrow from abroad. The meeting with rating agencies started with Fitch earlier this month, which was followed by S&P. The rating agencies will announce their stand on ratings and outlook within a month.
