S&P Global Ratings Affirms India's 'BBB A-2' Rating with Stable Outlook
S&P Global Ratings affirmed India's sovereign credit ratings at 'BBB A-2' with a stable outlook, citing strong economic fundamentals and a dynamic economy. Despite challenges from elevated energy prices, weak fiscal performance, and adverse agricultural conditions due to El Niño, India’s growth is expected to moderate to 6.6% this fiscal year but remain robust at around 7% annually over the next three years. The rating reflects India's strong external balance sheet and stable institutions, though high debt and low per capita income remain constraints.
