The Bataclan was he doing, or not, the subject of a specific threat of attack since 2010? The State could he prevent the tragedy that occurred in November 2015? In any case the assertion of the mother of Céline Vannier, a young woman who died in 2009 in the bombing of Cairo. Monday, Bernard Cazeneuve has not validated this hypothesis during his hearing by the committee of inquiry on the means used by the State to fight against terrorism.

“To keep established hastily links “

Fitch lowered the outlook for the rating of Tunisia – Jeune Afrique

 The rating agency has lowered from “stable” to “negative” the outlook for the rating of Tunisia maintained at “BB-”.

In its report published on Friday 04 March, the agency based in London and New York, attributes the decision to the deterioration of growth prospects of the country, a result of the difficulties experienced by the tourism sector in the wake of the terrorist attacks of Bardo and Sousse in 2015.

Tourist revenues down 35%

the revenue of the tourism industry in Tunisia decreased by 35% in 2015, says Fitch. “The collapse of tourism in the context of increased security risks has contributed to a slowdown in GDP growth of 2.3% in 2014 to only 0.8% in 2015, its lowest level since the revolution 2011, “Fitch points out.

the agency revised down its growth forecast for Tunisia to 1.2% for 2016, against 2% previously, and 2% for 2017 , against 3% previously.

Fitch also highlights a “weakening” of the situation of public finances. The agency estimates that the budget deficit reached 5.3% of GDP in 2015 (against 4.5% in 2014, again according to Fitch), due to wage increases, the cost of recapitalization of state banks but also of the lower revenue from taxes on businesses, despite the drop in energy subsidies.

the 2016 budget, regrets the rating agency “is far better” distribution budget items, with a public payroll representing 60% of revenues, while capital investments declined. They reached 5.3% of GDP in 2015, against an average 7.5% in previous years.

At the same time, Fitch continues, public debt (of which two thirds are denominated in foreign currencies Foreign) approaching 53% of GDP in 2015, against a median level of 43% in other countries rated “BB-” by the agency, which estimates that the debt is expected to grow to 58.4% of GDP in 2017. the net external debt reached 46% of GDP in 2015, against 35% a year earlier. It should reach 50% by 2017, warns rating agency.

A lighter energy bill

The only positive sign, the current account deficit should subside, mainly because of lower energy costs, the result of declining oil prices. It should reach 7.5% of GDP in 2016 and 2017, against 8.7% in 2015.

Among the factors that could cause the Anglo-American agency to downgrade the country included political destabilization the country because of the threat of terrorism or civil unrest, increased public debt and current account deficit. However, better growth prospects and a reduction of budget deficits could lead Fitch to raise the rating of Tunisia

Fitch and Moody’s degrade the note of Congo – Brazzaville – Jeune Afrique

 In their reports, both rating agencies highlight the deterioration of public accounts as a result of the decline in oil prices.

Moody’s and Fitch rating agencies have lowered the March 4 the sovereign rating of the Republic of Congo. Moody’s lowered the long-term rating of the country “B +” to “B”, while Fitch has reduced from “Ba3″ to “B1″. If in both cases, the decline is only a notch, the decision of Fitch tipped the country rating in the bond category called “ highly speculative “. Fitch was previously the latest international rating agency to keep the note of Brazzaville in the top category called “ Non-investment grade speculative “, considered less risky. Both agencies have placed the note on negative watch countries.

In their report, Moody’s and Fitch explained their decision by the deterioration of macroeconomic indicators of the country in the wake of the fall of oil prices, which 69% of government revenues and 80% of exports. While a barrel of crude is trading around $ 30, against $ 50 on average in 2015 and about $ 100 mid-2014. Moody table’s on a barrel to 33 dollars in 2016 and 38 dollars in 2017, when Fitch table on 35 dollars and 45 dollars respectively.

Public debts and degraded fiscal balances

“Finance government of the Republic of Congo are particularly sensitive to the oil price decline due to two interrelated factors: first, because it represents a particularly large share of public revenues (69% in 2014); and secondly, because of the prevalence clauses ‘super profits’ in contracts used in the oil sector of the country, which means that revenue [public] from oil are particularly sensitive to price changes, “says Moody’s.

He believes that, as a proportion of GDP, the country’s public debt (net of currency deposits) deteriorated by 13 percentage points in 2014 and 27 points in 2015. the agency new York-based anticipates a further deterioration of 20 points in 2016. the country’s debt is expected to reach 48% of GDP in 2017, according to the agency.

the two agencies also anticipate the deterioration of the fiscal balance from the country. The deficit will be 13.4% in 2016. Fitch believes that shows particular reservations about the government’s desire to reduce its accounts. And point, for example, that the budget 2016 provides for a 15% increase in wages and capital spending compared to 2015.

For Fitch, the economic outlook “remains positive”

If, like Moody’s, Fitch placed the rating of Congo – Brazzaville watch negative, the agency believes that in the medium term, the economic outlook “remains positive”. The agency based in London and New York, for example, notes that “non-oil activity (still dominated by public investment) has maintained the real GDP growth in the green at around 2% in 2015, despite lower oil production. “

Fitch also notes that major oil fields” will be commissioned in 2016-2017, which could significantly increase oil production, and none of these projects n has been canceled so far. “

Finally, the report says Fitch,” the country has untapped mineral potential and significant focus by the government on economic diversification could contribute to support medium-term non-oil growth “

                         Le Revenu

                         Published on 03/07/2016 at 11:00 – Updated 03.07.2016 11:00

                 Moody’s lowered the rating of the two Gulf countries and placed the other oil-exporting countries in the region under surveillance for a possible downward revision of their notes.

Moody’s lowered the rating of Oman and Bahrain. A reduction which, according to the rating agency, “reflects the impact of the steady drop in oil prices.” The review of Moody’s regards Saudi Arabia, which has seen its rating downgraded two notches to A- last month, and the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Qatar.

The agency rating considers the oil barrel price should be around $ 33 in 2016, $ 38 in 2017 and 48 dollars in 2019.

oil and gas between 86 and 90% of budget revenues

The rating of Bahrain was lowered one notch to Ba1. Oil and gas account for 75% of exports and had between 2010 and 2014 to 86% of budget revenues of the State, which is a relatively small exporter, says Moody’s.

Meanwhile, Oman saw its rating lowered two notches to A1. For this country, oil and gas account for 90% of fiscal revenues. Oman is less financially solid, the amount of its financial assets representing only three years of spending, said the rating agency.

Saudi Arabia budget deficit of 15%

the drop in oil prices has deteriorated trade balances, economies and therefore the credit profiles of the Gulf states, according to Moody’s. In Saudi Arabia, oil now accounts for 84% of exports, 40% of gross domestic product (GDP) and 62% of consolidated budget revenues. Before the fall in oil prices, the revenues from black gold represented about 90% of these revenues.

Between 2013 and 2015, the oil revenues of the Kingdom, as a percentage of GDP, fell 23%, while the budget balance moved from a surplus of 6.5% of GDP to a deficit of 15%. During the same period, the balance of current trade of Saudi Arabia has slid from a surplus of 18.2% of GDP to a deficit of 5.7%, says Moody’s.

Measures’ austerity

the countries of the Gulf cooperation Council (GCC) have been forced to take austerity measures to reduce their subsidies for energy to counter the decline in oil revenues.

Moody stressed’s last month that these measures would help reduce the budgetary problems of these countries but would not be enough to erase born deficits of falling oil prices.
