Standard & Poor Global Ratings yesterday downgraded its long-term foreign and local currency sovereign credit ratings on Sri Lanka to B- from B, citing a deterioration in the country’s already weak fiscal position amid an expected economic contraction.
Issuing a statement, S&P said the country’s fiscal position weakened in 2019 as the Easter Sunday attacks affected economic activity and tourism earnings. Expenditures rose due to security-related and election spending while tax cuts led to a fall in revenue, the rating agency noted.
