Reports on credit rating downgrade baseless, says Finance Ministry


PETALING JAYA: The Finance Ministry has refuted reports of a possible credit rating downgrade, saying it is baseless as the Government is committed to ensuring its debt levels remain below 55% of gross domestic product (GDP).

The ministry said in a statement that debt levels were expected to go down to about 53% of GDP this year.
