ARHK Affirms ‘AAA’ International Rating to Canada, Outlook Stable
30 December 2024
Hong Kong, December 30, 2024. ARHK has affirmed an international scale long-term issuer credit rating of ‘AAA’ to Canada, with a stable outlook.
The rating results confirm Canada’s large and diversified economic structure, providing strong resilience against external shocks. Its reasonable debt structure, efficient financing channels, low interest burden, and status as a net international creditor provide support to its external debt repayment capacity. Canada has strong institutional strength, high government efficiency, and a well-developed judicial system. However, the rating also highlights concerns regarding several risk factors. Canada’s economic performance faces internal and external challenges in the context of the Bank of Canada’s rapid interest rate hikes and the slowdown in global economic growth. Besides, the fiscal deficit, combined with the economic slowdown, exerts a negative influence on Canada’s fiscal strength.
