S&P Global Ratings downgraded Sri Lanka’s sovereign credit rating to CCC+ and assigned a stable outlook today, in part due to the impact of Covid-19, which has narrowed the government's fiscal space and its capacity to generate earnings through sectors such as tourism. The agency explained that with the implementation of expansionary budget measures in Sri Lanka, the country's fiscal position is expected to deteriorate materially over the next few years in the absence of favourable economic and financial conditions. The outlook is stable, reflecting the risks of external deterioration balanced against accommodative policies over the next 12 months.
