S&P cuts Pakistan's credit rating to 'B-' from 'B'; maintains stable outlook
Standard & Poor (S&P) Global Ratings said on Monday it lowered Pakistan’s sovereign credit rating to ‘B-‘ from ‘B’, citing diminished growth prospects, as well as elevated external and fiscal stresses.

S&P maintained Pakistan’s rating outlook at ‘stable’.

The credit rating agency stated that its stable outlook for Pakistan reflected its expectation that Pakistan will secure sufficient funding to meet its external financing requirements over the next twelve months.

S&P said it lowered Pakistan's ranking as the country's economic outlook as well as its external position deteriorated.
