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

Table 1
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.
