Ratingagentur: Moody’s hebt Griechenlands Kreditwürdigkeit an – Polens Bonitätsnote sinkt

Moody’s, the credit rating agency, has upgraded Greece's creditworthiness outlook from "stable" to "positive", maintaining the "Baa3" rating. The agency highlighted signs that structural reforms are enhancing the country's economic and financial resilience, reflecting a solid reform record and favorable debt sustainability indicators. However, Greece is expected to maintain some of the highest debt burdens among the countries rated by Moody’s until the end of the decade.

In contrast, Poland's credit rating has been downgraded by Moody’s due to a worsening household budget situation. The agency lowered Poland's rating from "A2" to "A3", maintaining the "stable" outlook. This downgrade reflects balanced risks at the new rating level, but the national fiscal framework has lost some effectiveness. Political constraints and the parliamentary election scheduled for November 2027 are anticipated to delay significant consolidation of Poland's public finances for now.
