After the Standard & Poor’s agency increased Croatia’s long-term rating to BBB+ in July of last year, with a stable outlook, with the announcement on Friday evening, September 15, the outlook for the long-term rating was revised to positive, which confirms the exceptional progress of Croatia, which is on the verge of moving to a higher level of investment rating A rating.<\/p>\n
S&P highlights the effect of the Government’s strong measures to preserve jobs, overcome the energy crisis and economic recovery. They highlighted the quality management of public finances, which was also recorded in the pre-crisis years, which contributes to the improved Croatia credit rating. At the same time, they express confidence in the Government in continuing to implement the reforms outlined in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
