Sovereign Rating And Country T&C Assessment Histories


Standard & Poor's Ratings Services rates 126 sovereign governments and has transfer and convertibility (T&C) assessments for each country with a rated sovereign.

Rating Trends

In July, Standard & Poor's raised its sovereign ratings on Angola, Kuwait, and Uruguay and lowered its sovereign ratings on Cyprus and Greece. The outlooks on Panama and Sri Lanka were revised to positive from stable, while the outlooks on Bosnia and Herzegovina and Tunisia were revised to negative from stable. In addition, we assigned negative outlooks to Bahrain and Oman upon the removal of the ratings from CreditWatch with negative implications. Standard & Poor's also placed the long-term sovereign ratings on the United States on CreditWatch negative. Finally, the long-term local-currency ratings on Malaysia, Mexico, and Morocco were lowered by one notch in accordance with Standard & Poor's revised sovereign rating methodology, which was published on June

Sovereign Rating And Country T&C Assessment Histories

30, 2011. As of July 31, 17 sovereigns had positive outlooks, up from 12 a year earlier. Twenty-seven sovereigns have negative outlooks or ratings on CreditWatch negative, a figure that is edging up but is down from a peak of 37 in April 2009.

July 2011 Rating, Outlook, And T&C Assessment Changes


Sovereign Angola Action Ratings raised to BB-/Stable/B; T&C assessment revised to 'BB-' Ratings removed from CreditWatch negative; negative outlook assigned Date July 12, 2011 July 20, 2011 Reason The upgrade reflects stronger fiscal and external flexibility stemming from robust improvement in fiscal and external balances. The removal of the ratings from CreditWatch reflects our view of lesser political tensions in the wake of the lifting of the National Security Law and an attempt at reconciliation. The negative outlook reflects the likelihood of a downgrade if political turmoil reemerges and destabilizes the financial system or if Bahrain appears to experience a continued asset drain due to the fallout from this years unrest. The negative outlook reflects the likelihood of a downgrade if the difficult political environment continues to deter investment inflows and obstruct the management of government finances over the next year. The downgrade reflects rising fiscal pressures in light of the governments inconsistent commitment to cutting public spending to offset a substantial decline in capital gains and corporate taxes, as well as the contingent liabilities stemming from Cypriot bank exposures to Greece. The downgrade reflects our view that the proposed restructuring, outlined in the July 21 statement by the European Council, would amount to a distressed exchange and a selective default under our rating criteria. The upgrade is based on the countrys strong external and fiscal positions, which receive a heavier weight in Standard & Poors revised sovereign rating methodology, published on June 30, 2011. The long-term local-currency rating was revised to just one notch above the foreign-currency rating in accordance with Standard & Poors revised sovereign rating methodology, published on June 30, 2011. The long-term local-currency rating was revised to just two notches above the foreign-currency rating in accordance with Standard & Poors revised sovereign rating methodology, published on June 30, 2011. The long-term local-currency rating was revised to just one notch above the foreign-currency rating in accordance with Standard & Poors revised sovereign rating methodology, published on June 30, 2011. The removal of the ratings from CreditWatch reflects our view that immediate political pressures are easing, with the government having quickly responded to the demands of the largely peaceful protesters. The negative outlook reflects the likelihood of a downgrade if latent political risks reemerge and cannot be appeased by the planned increases in spending that aim to address demands raised earlier this year. The positive outlook reflects the likelihood of an upgrade if the better-than-expected performance of Panamas economy continues andalong with improving infrastructureboosts long-term economic flexibility and resilience. The positive outlook reflects the likelihood of an upgrade if external liquidity continues to strengthen, inflation stays close to that of trading partners, and the government progresses in addressing structural fiscal weaknesses. The negative outlook reflects the likelihood of a downgrade if uncertainties around medium-term policy formulation and implementation rise, fiscal performance deteriorates, or the banking system weakens further and impairs growth. The CreditWatch placement reflects the likelihood of a downgrade if we conclude that Congress and the Administration have not achieved a credible solution to the rising U.S. government debt burden and are not likely to achieve one in the foreseeable future.

Rating/Assessment Histories
The rating and assessment histories are shown in Table 2, with the top line for each sovereign showing the ratings and assessment as of July 31, 2011. These histories are updated monthly. For a handful of sovereigns, the rating histories start on Jan. 1, 1975. For most, they start on the day Standard & Poor's first assigned a rating. For information on sovereign rating criteria, please see "Sovereign Government Rating Methodology And Assumptions," June 30, 2011. The column second from the right in Table 2 shows sovereign foreign-currency recovery ratings. Standard & Poor's sovereign foreign-currency recovery ratings reflect its opinion on the extent to which a sovereign government will be able and willing to repay nonofficial foreign currency debtholders post-default. This opinion is expressed using a numerical scale where '1+' indicates the highest expectation of full recovery and '6' indicates an expectation of negligible recovery. Standard & Poor's has foreign currency recovery ratings on the debt issues of selected sovereigns with foreign currency ratings of 'BB+' or lower. For information on sovereign recovery rating criteria, please see "Criteria: Introduction Of Sovereign Recovery Ratings," RatingsDirect, June 14, 2007. The right-most column below in Table 2 contains T&C assessments. The history begins in November 2005, at which time Standard & Poor's expanded its criteria for analyzing T&C risk. A T&C assessment is the rating associated with the likelihood of the sovereign restricting access to foreign exchange needed for debt service. For most countries, Standard & Poor's analysis concludes that this risk is less than the risk of sovereign default on foreign currency obligations; thus, most T&C assessments exceed the sovereign foreign currency rating. A nonsovereign can be rated as high as the T&C assessment if its stress-tested operating and financial characteristics support the higher rating. For more information about these nonsovereign issuers, please see "Corporate And Government Ratings That Exceed The Sovereign Rating," published monthly on RatingsDirect. For more information about the methodology for determining T&C assessments, see "Criteria For Determining Transfer And Convertibility Assessments," May 18, 2009, RatingsDirect.
