Brexit: Standard and Poor’s rating degrades the European Union – The Express

First warning shot of a rating agency after a British referendum on Brexit. Standard and Poor’s downgraded the long-term debt rating of the European Union from AA + to AA. She believes that with the risk of Brexit, the European Union has lost cohesion, and that it is not “so sure” for investors who lend him money.



“We have reassessed our analysis on EU cohesion”

“After the decision of the British voters to leave the EU after the referendum June 23, we reassessed our analysis on cohesion within the EU, we now consider as neutral rather than positive in the rating “of this set, simply indicates the agency in a statement.

This decision therefore augurs a rise in long-term interest rates. A challenge for the European Central Bank which does everything to keep to the lowest in more than a year to boost growth. Its president Mario Draghi fear a negative impact of 0.5% on GDP in the euro area for the next three years, according to Les Echos .

Brexit: Moody’s threatened to lower the rating GB – Le Figaro

Moody’s has revised Friday to negative from stable the outlook for the rating of the United Kingdom after the victory of Brexit, meaning it could lower the rating in the near future.

Moody’s estimates that begins “a prolonged period of uncertainty “that will have” negative implications for the medium-term growth prospects “of the British economy. The debt rating to Aa1 is maintained.

“In the few years that the UK will have to renegotiate its trade relations with the European Union, Moody’s expects a revival of uncertainty, decreased confidence and lower investments lead to lower growth, “the agency said in a statement.

It also fears that the country’s public finances weaken more than expected . “The negative impact of lower growth will exceed the savings that the UK will no longer contribute to the EU budget,” says Moody’s.

The agency points out that EU is the largest trading partner of the United Kingdom, absorbing 44% of exports and 48% of foreign direct investment to the UK also come from the EU.

“It is possible that the United Kingdom is able to redirect its trade to other regions and thus compensates for a weaker trade with Europe, but it will take time, “warns the agency. However, it believes that the country should reach agreement with the European Union to preserve “most, but not all trade”.

“There are clearly downside risks,” concludes Moody’s, adding that “in the absence of a trade agreement that preserves the core of the current access to the UK market unique (…) the growth of its gross domestic product will be materially lower. “

Fitch lowers rating of Nigeria – Africa Young


 For the three global rating agencies, the countries of West Africa is now investing “very speculative”.

Nine months after lowering the rating outlook Nigeria, Fitch has finally decided to reduce by one notch the rating of the first African economy, with stable outlook. The long-term rating in foreign currency changes from “BB-” to “B +” (category “very speculative”) while the local currency changes from “BB” to “BB-”.

a statement released June 23 in the afternoon, the rating agency explained that “fiscal and external vulnerability of the country has deteriorated due to the significant drop in oil and tax revenues and long-monetary adjustments to take shape and insufficient to mitigate the impact of lower oil prices. “

Fitch added that the return of the insurgency in the Niger Delta in the first half 2016 decreased oil production, exacerbating pressures on export revenues and limiting the entry of foreign currency.

for Fitch, the deficit is expected to grow to 4.2% of GDP in 2016, against an average of 1.5% between 2011 and 2015. Despite expected increases in the collection of non-oil tax revenues, the result of work done by the government in this area, public revenues are expected to fall to 5.5% of GDP in 2016 against 12% from 2011 to 2015.

of the country remains low debt to 14% of GDP in 2016, but Fitch fears a deterioration.

Highly speculative

the agency does not seem to totally satisfy the recent decisions in terms of flexibility of the naira. For her, the new exchange rate regime, adopted on 20 June, is not completely flexible because a parallel market remains, “importers of 41 types of products being excluded from the interbank market.”

growth of the Nigerian GDP is expected by Fitch to 1.5% in 2016, down from 2.7% in 2015 known.

in late April, Moody’s lowered the sovereign rating of Nigeria “B1″, first step in the bond category called “very speculative”. S & amp; P had passed the Nigerian notation very speculative grade early 2015, and just lowered the outlook on this rating
