Fitch has also improved Pakistan’s economic outlook from negative to stable.
The agency upgraded Pakistan’s long-term foreign currency issuer default rating from CCC+ to B-, and also rated the country’s local currency rating at B-.
According to Fitch, this upgrade reflects growing confidence in Pakistan’s efforts to reduce its budget deficit and maintain the momentum of economic reforms.
Fitch stated that Pakistan has improved its implementation of the IMF program and has gained easier access to financing.
