Fitch Ratings company sees a chance that the present agreement on the steps needed to guarantee ongoing funding could soon fade. Pakistan’s Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of ‘CCC’ has been confirmed by Fitch Ratings. Generally speaking, outlooks are not given to sovereigns rated at ‘CCC+’ or lower. The rating agency also stated in a statement that it anticipates Pakistani authorities to finish the current standby arrangement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF)—an agreement that was vital in preventing the South Asian country from sliding into default on its sovereign debt. An analyst, however, expressed worries over the new rating, pointing out that he anticipated Pakistan’s rating would rise as a result of the numerous reforms the caretaker administration implemented to satisfy IMF requirements.
