S&P affirms Israel’s credit ratings
August 5, 2016Standard Poor’s (SP) Ratings Services on Friday affirmed Israel’s credit ratings as ‘A+/A-1’ with a stable outlook.
The agency said it assumes Israel’s economy will grow at an average rate of about 2.5% in 2016-2019, despite risks of weaker global demand.
According to SP, the issue of housing is a major challenge in Israel and despite the fact that the government is trying to handle the challenge using a variety of measures to address the problems of supply, it is expected that the impact will be limited in the near term.
SP previously affirmed its ‘A+/A-1’ long- and short-term credit ratings for Israel, with a stable outlook, in the month of February.
