Tishwash:  Fitch affirms Iraq's credit rating at (B-) and praises "internal stability"

The Iraqi Ministry of Finance announced on Monday that the international credit rating agency Fitch has affirmed Iraq’s sovereign rating at (B-) with a “stable” outlook.

The ministry said in a statement, received by Shafaq News Agency, that this step reflects international confidence in the ability of the Iraqi economy to maintain its financial and credit stability despite the current global and regional challenges.

The ministry explained in its statement that the Fitch report highlighted positively the strength of internal stability in Iraq, noting that the internal situation has remained resilient and stable during the past months, which reflects the success of government policies in keeping the Iraqi arena neutral from regional conflicts and escalating tensions in the region.

What was once a relatively small and unassuming sector has ballooned into a behemoth, with approximately $1.3 trillion in outstanding loans, roughly half the size of the commercial and industrial loans made by banks.

However, this meteoric rise has also brought with it a host of systemic risks that threaten the stability of the broader financial sector.
