Sovereign credit drivers and the shifting balance between domestic and external factors
Domestic economic and political factors will be crucial for sovereign credit prospects in the region. The readiness and capability of governments to address fiscal challenges and manage external conditions to take advantage of opportunities derived from nearshoring and global energy transition will also impact future credit paths.
- What political economy challenges governments face in their efforts to simultaneously achieve fiscal consolidation and foster economic growth?
- How much financial relief will sovereigns derive from a scenario of declining interest rates?
- What is the credit outlook for Latin American sovereigns at the bottom of the rating scale?
