Turkey has maintained stability during the financial crisis and is in the throes of a well-regulated property boom, according to Standard and Poor’s.
For Turkey to receive a credit rating upgrade amongst almost 100 downgrades from Standard & Poor’s is something to be proud of. Careful Government policy has steered Turkey calmly through a turbulent 2009 and decreased its debt levels.
The nation can be confident of a solid financial sector, in spite of external pressures, and according to Standard & Poor’s credit analyst “Turkey’s banking system will be one of the strongest and least-leveraged in Eastern Europe.” The agency even expects to upgrade the country again over the next one to two years should it continue to weather the global turmoil and reduce its dependence on external funding.
Spain meanwhile is the last large world economy to find itself still mired in recession. Its GDP continues to shrink prompting Standard & Poor’s to put the country on a negative outlook in December last year. The agency has little confidence in Spain reducing its Government deficit from 11.4% of GDP to the eurozone limit of 3% and could even apply further downward pressure to its ratings should the authorities not take aggressive action to tackle its weak economic growth and near 20% unemployment.
Daniel Dias for developer Signature International, commented: “At the moment Turkey is certainly in good shape and all of this bodes well for Turkey’s constant endeavour to become part of the EU.”
