Bahrain escapes downgrade at Fitch after political risk abates - bi-me.com

Bahrain's creditworthiness escaped a possible downgrade at Fitch Ratings because of reduced near-term political and economic risks in the island-kingdom that contended with anti-government protests earlier this year.

Fitch said it removed the Gulf kingdom from its Credit Watch Negative list for borrowers facing a possible downgrade.

Bahrain’s long-term foreign-currency issuer default rating was affirmed at BBB, the second-lowest investment grade, and its local-currency issuer default rating at BBB+.
