惠誉评级周五将法国的主权信用评级从AA-下调至A+,理由是政治动荡和债务上升。就在几天前,弗朗索瓦·贝鲁在议会对一项紧缩预算的信任投票失败后辞去了总理职务。惠誉表示,新的评级是法国主要信用评级机构有记录以来的最低评级,前景稳定。法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙本周任命保守派效忠者塞巴斯蒂安·莱科尔努组建新政府,此前立法者在对他提出的440亿欧元(520亿美元)预算紧缩的信任投票中罢免了资深中间派弗朗索瓦·贝鲁。标准普尔对法国的信用评级目前为AA-,展望为负面。穆迪上一次将法国评级为Aa3,前景稳定。DBRS Morningstar的评级最后报告为AA(高),前景也为负面。
Fitch Ratings downgraded France's sovereign credit rating to A+ from AA- on Friday, citing political turmoil and rising debt. The downgrade comes just days after François Bayrou resigned as prime minister following a loss of a parliamentary confidence vote over an attempted austerity budget. The new rating — the lowest on record from a major credit rating agency for France — carries a stable outlook, according to Fitch. President Emmanuel Macron this week appointed Sébastien Lecornu, a conservative loyalist, to form a new government after lawmakers ousted veteran centrist François Bayrou in a confidence vote over his proposed €44 billion (USD 52 billion) budget squeeze. Standard & Poor’s credit rating for France currently stands at AA- with a negative outlook. Moody’s last rated France at Aa3 with a stable outlook. DBRS Morningstar's rating was last reported at AA (high), also with a negative outlook.
