Moody’s hebt Ausblick für Südafrika auf positiv an

Moody’s Ratings hat den Kreditausblick für Südafrika von stabil auf positiv geändert und das Ba2-Rating unverändert gelassen. Der Schritt spiegelt die Fortschritte bei der Haushaltsführung und bei Reformen wider.

Moody’s Ratings hat die Kreditwürdigkeit Südafrikas bei Ba2 belassen, aber den Ausblick auf positiv geändert. Die Agentur verwies auf eine stärkere Haushaltsperformance sowie Fortschritte bei Strukturreformen in den Bereichen Energie, Logistik und Wasser.

Die leitende Ökonomin der Standard Bank, Dr. Elna Moolman, erklärte, die Änderung signalisiere mögliche zukünftige Hochstufungen. Sie merkte an, dass die Schuldenquote ihren Höhepunkt erreicht habe und nun schrittweise sinken sollte.

Moody’s erwartet, dass Reformen das Wachstum bis 2028 auf 2 Prozent steigern werden. Die Agentur erkannte Risiken durch den Krieg im Iran an, betonte jedoch, dass politische Reaktionen dabei helfen würden, den kurzfristigen Druck zu bewältigen.

Makwe Masilela, Chief Investment Officer bei Makwe Fund Managers, sagte, Exporteure sollten diversifizierte Märkte erschließen, um Wachstum und die Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen zu unterstützen.
