Fitch revises India outlook to 'Stable', maintains rating
Fitch Ratings on Friday revised its outlook on India`s long-term foreign currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to "Stable" from "Negative," citing diminished downside risks to medium-term growth
Fitch Ratings on Friday revised its outlook on India`s long-term foreign currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to "Stable" from "Negative," citing diminished downside risks to medium-term growth.
The ratings agency said risks to the country`s medium-term growth lessened due to rapid economic recovery and easing financial sector weakness, despite near-term headwinds from the global commodity price shock.
"High nominal GDP growth has facilitated a near-term reduction in the debt-to-GDP ratio," Fitch said in a statement.

Fitch lowered India`s economic growth for 2022/23 to 7.8% from the 8.5% it had forecast in March, saying the inflationary impacts of the global commodity price shock were dampening some of the positive growth momentum.
However, Fitch`s projection was ahead of Reserve Bank of India`s projection of 7.2%.
In 2021/22, India`s economic growth was 8.7%.
Fitch kept its rating of BBB- on India.
