ARHK Affirms ‘BBB-’ International Rating to India, Outlook Stable
30 December 2024
Hong Kong, December 30, 2024. ARHK has affirmed an international scale long-term issuer credit rating of ‘BBB-’ to The Republic of India (hereinafter referred to as ‘India’), with a stable outlook.
The rating results confirm
India's large economic scale and diversified economic structure, strong economic growth, and demographic dividend supporting long-term economic growth prospects; the government's debt structure is relatively favorable, with debt primarily in domestic and long-term debt; foreign direct investment maintains a net inflow trend, foreign exchange reserves are adequate and provide high coverage of short-term foreign debt. However, concerns are noted regarding India's high fiscal deficit, elevated government debt levels, and weak debt repayment capacity; low per capita GDP level, and high unemployment rate; as well as the risk factors of the Bharatiya Janata Party losing an absolute majority in parliamentary elections, potentially affecting the advancement of Modi's reform agenda.
