Moody's upgrades Greek rating by 2 marks
(MENAFN) Rating agency Moody's said it has upgraded Greece's sovereign credit rating by two notches to "B1" with a stable outlook, from the "B3" rating with a positive outlook it gave the country over a year earlier.
Economists predicted this upgrade to help Greece in its next foray in the markets, probably with a 10-year bond.
Moody's explained that its upgrade indicated the strengthening of the country's economy due to reforms, the likelihood of a sustained strong fiscal performance, and the enhancement of public debt sustainability.
Greek bond yields in the secondary market have already declined to a decade-low, with the 10-year note's rate standing at 3.65 percent on Friday.
