“The affirmation of Ukraine’s Caa1 ratings reflects its – while showing signs of improvement – significant external vulnerability,” Moody’s said on Friday.
The key drivers for the change in the outlook to positive are: the rebuilding of Ukraine’s foreign exchange reserves is reducing external vulnerability in the context of large external repayments; and the improvement of Ukraine’s macroeconomic stability and the prospect for renewed reform momentum is strengthening the country’s economic resilience.
f he other two major agencies, Standard & Poor’s credit rating for Ukraine stands at “B” with astable outlook, while Fitch’s credit rating for Ukraine is “B” with positive outlook, the Kiev-based Interfax-Ukraine notes.
