Abstract

KUALA LUMPUR: Economists have given mixed views on Fitch Ratings’ latest revision of Malaysia’s sovereign rating, with some saying it is on expected lines while others expressing their disappointment. As the global economy and markets enter a vortex of weak data, poor earnings and rising bankruptcies, the assessment puts further stress on an economy that is already strained due to the pandemic. Juwai IQI Chief Economist Shan Saeed lambasted the rating agency for its assessment of Malaysia’s sovereign rating, saying that markets have lost confidence in rating agencies since 2010.
