The agency , in its report published after the close of the Exchange, praises the improved productivity of Spain , the progress of its exports , and the Government's commitment to reducing debt. Justify your decision to improve the note because " the risks to the solvency of Spain have fallen since sovereign bonds were downgraded to BBB in June 2012 , financial conditions have improved , the economic outlook have more security" and because Fitch believes that the risk that the Spanish banks represent an additional burden on sovereign debt has decreased.
Fitch , however , also warns of the risks still facing Spain , " the prospects for medium-term growth are weak, all sectors of the economy remain highly indebted and unemployment is exceptionally high."
Spain has ceased to walk the path of the junk bond , a grade in the fall that never came but which came perilously . Now has the highest approved Fitch and Moody's approved . The Spanish debt is no longer seen by markets as a high- risk. Proof of this is the Spanish risk premium , the indicator that measures the additional cost of the bonds of a country with respect to the Germans, considered the most reliable . This Friday the Spanish premium stood at 158 basis points , the lowest since August 2010, and far from its peak in July 2012 , when it reached 638 points after Spain requested the euro partners and the bank bailout Greece put the euro against the ropes. Interest on Spanish ten-year bond market are 3.06 points , about to beat its record low of 2005, when trading at 3,005 points.
Reforms and effort
In its report , the agency emphasizes that the adjustment of the balance of payments driven by a "robust" performance of exports and the contraction in domestic demand . In this regard, notes that 2013 closed a current account surplus of 0.8% of GDP , the first in nearly three decades , which could help reduce the high net external debt (92% of GDP) in the medium term .
Also described as "strong" fiscal performance of Spain in the last two years , in which the deficit excluding aid to banks , fell by 2.5% in 2012-2013 despite the fall of nominal GDP 2.2% recorded in the same period . Also, also argues that structural economic reforms undertaken by the Spanish authorities since the beginning of the crisis in fields such as labor market, the pension system , the fiscal framework or the financial sector have " improved prospects in the longer term " sovereign .
The second accolade
Fitch had published its latest report on the status of Spain in November 2013 : at that time held the note in BBB , two notches above junk status , but improved the prospect of changing the note from "negative" to "stable" . Since the crisis began the firm had only chained impairments : note down five steps only Spain in 2012 , from AA- to BBB .
Last February was Moody 's, another of the giants of rating, which became the first agency to improved note the sovereign debt of Spain since the beginning of the crisis, to raise one notch to Baa2 and perspective positive . The rating agency had taken the triple A to Spain , considered the honors in 2010 and since then also chained degradations.
Fitch has also issued a report on Friday Italy. In his case , has confirmed the rating at BBB + but has risen from negative to stable your perspective, to improve financing conditions for the sovereign and the end of the recession in the country. The agency stressed that the Italian Government has benefited from a "significant improvement" in funding conditions since mid- 2012 and has demonstrated its " financial flexibility and resilience " during the sovereign debt crisis .
Calendar of future revisions
The new European legislation requires rating agencies to publish advance an annual calendar with up to three dates that are scheduled to announce its ratings on government debt, which can only be made public when the bag is closed .
Complying with these new rules , Moody's reported that it will revisit note Spain twice this year: June 20 and October 17. Meanwhile, Fitch issued a new decision on the rating of Spain on October 24 , and Standard & Poor's ( S & P) on May 23 and November 14.
