Egypt’s Outlook Raised by Fitch After $57 Billion Global Bailout
==========
Fitch Ratings has raised Egypt's credit rating outlook to positive from stable after the country secured a $57 billion international bailout for its struggling economy. Fitch affirmed Egypt's B- rating, six notches below investment grade. The rating upgrade comes after Egypt agreed to a $35 billion investment deal with the United Arab Emirates and received additional support from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Fitch stated that the near-term external financing risks have reduced due to the UAE deal and the country's move to a flexible exchange rate and tightening of monetary policy. Egypt has been working on selling state-owned companies and assets and implementing other reform efforts to curb spending and encourage private-sector growth. S&P Global Ratings has a positive outlook for Egypt, while Moody's Ratings assigns a positive outlook to the country.
