Moody’s, Fitch Lift Spain to A Tier, Capping Triple Upgrade

Attention shifts to the effect on Spain’s borrowing costs in upcoming debt sales.

Overview

  • Moody’s raised Spain’s sovereign rating from Baa1 to A3 and assigned a stable outlook.
  • Fitch upgraded Spain from A- to A with a stable outlook, citing better-than-expected performance.
  • Fitch pointed to large migration inflows and increasingly diversified services exports as growth supports.
  • Moody’s highlighted a stronger labor market and a more resilient banking sector as key to reduced vulnerability.
  • S&P’s move last week means Spain now holds an A-level rating across all three major agencies.
