Fitch sees no need for change in Malaysia rating

Stringer:

LONDON: International credit ratings and research agency Fitch Ratings says it does not see any near-term signs that could make it alter its current A- rating stable outlook on Malaysia but maintains that it would continue to monitor the country’s state of public finances.

Managing director and chief operating officer (sovereign and supranational group) Tony Stringer said negative pressure on the current rating could emerge in the event of any deterioration in the trajectory of public finance.
