Moody’s eleva perspectiva da África do Sul para positiva

A Moody’s Ratings alterou a perspectiva de crédito da África do Sul de estável para positiva, mantendo inalterada a sua classificação Ba2. A medida reflete o progresso na gestão fiscal e nas reformas.

A Moody’s Ratings manteve a classificação de crédito da África do Sul em Ba2, mas mudou a perspectiva para positiva. A agência citou um desempenho fiscal mais forte e o progresso em reformas estruturais nos setores de energia, logística e água.

A economista sênior do Standard Bank, Dra. Elna Moolman, disse que a mudança sinaliza possíveis elevações futuras. Ela observou que a relação dívida/PIB atingiu o pico e agora deve diminuir gradualmente.

A Moody’s espera que as reformas elevem o crescimento para 2 por cento até 2028. A agência reconheceu os riscos decorrentes da guerra no Irã, mas afirmou que as respostas políticas ajudarão a administrar as pressões de curto prazo.

O diretor de investimentos da Makwe Fund Managers, Makwe Masilela, disse que os exportadores devem buscar mercados diversificados para apoiar o crescimento e a criação de empregos.
