Ljubljana (MOREL) - Bonitetna agencija Fitch Ratings je konec januarja potrdila kreditni oceni za dolgoročni dolg Slovenije v domači in tuji valuti (IDR), ki sta AA, kar pomeni, da je izgled stabilen. Agencija je za Slovenijo potrdila tudi kreditno oceno kratkoročnih poslov v tuji valuti F1+ in njeno splošno omejitev transferibilnosti plačil v tujino (Country Ceiling) AAA. "S fiskalno konsolidacijo v preteklosti je Slovenija pridobila manevrski prostor za spopad z nepričakovano hudo recesijo, njeni javnofinančni kazalci pa so kljub večjim primanjkljajem in naraščajočemu javnemu dolgu ostali v skladu z mediano AA," je dejal Chris Pryce, direktor analitske ekipe agencije Fitch za ocenjevanje držav. Nenaden padec na glavnih izvoznih trgih Slovenije v območju evra, zlasti v Nemčiji, je močno vplival na izvoz in posledično na naložbe, kar je povzročilo več kot 7-odstotno znižanje BDP v letu 2009. Temu padcu sta sledili dve četrtletji zmerne rasti, za katero agencija pričakuje, da se bo v naslednjih letih nadaljevala in krepila.

Ljubljana (MOREL) - At the end of January, the Rating Agency Fitch Ratings confirmed the two credit ratings for the long-term debt of Slovenia in domestic and foreign currency (IDR), which are both rated as AA, indicating a stable prospects. The Agency also confirmed Slovenia's credit rating for short-term business affairs in foreign currency at F1+ and its general limitation of Country Ceiling at AAA. "The fiscal consolidation of the past helped Slovenia gain manoeuvring space to tackle the unexpected severe recession, while its public finance indicators remained in accordance with the median AA despite larger deficits and increasing public debt", said Chris Pryce, the Director of Analysis Team of Fitch Ratings, responsible for evaluation of countries. The unusual drop in major export markets of Slovenia within the zone of Euro, especially Germany, had a strong influence on the export and consequentially on investments, and caused more than 7 per cent decrease in GDP of the year 2009. This drop was followed by two quarters of moderate growth which will, according to the expectations of the Agency, continue and become stronger in the following years.
