KUALA LUMPUR: Fitch Ratings’ affirmation of Malaysia’s sovereign credit ratings at BBB+ with a ‘stable’ outlook is bolstered by the country’s sterling performance across key environmental, social, and governance (ESG) indicators.
Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said Malaysia scores above the global median in the ESG indicators, particularly in political stability, rule of law, institutional quality, control of corruption, and human rights and political freedoms.
