Fitch Affirms Hungary ‘BBB-’Rating, ‘Positive’ Outlook

Fitch Ratings has affirmed Hungary’s sovereign rating at ‘BBB-’, just over the investment grade threshold, in a scheduled review. The outlook for the rating is ‘positive’.

“Hungary’s ratings balance strong structural indicators compared with ‘BBB’ medians against relatively higher public and net external debt, a higher level of policy unpredictability and macroeconomic volatility.

An improving trend for these latter factors is reflected in the Positive Outlook,” Fitch said.
