Russia’s invasion of Ukraine triggered a flurry of credit rating moves on Friday, February 25, with S&P lowering Russia’s rating to junk status, Moody’s putting it on review for a downgrade to junk, and S&P and Fitch swiftly cutting Ukraine on default worries. Both countries’ financial markets have unsurprisingly been thrown into turmoil by this week’s events, which rank as the biggest military attack in Europe since World War II, bringing stiff Western sanctions on Moscow. S&P lowered Russia’s long-term foreign currency credit rating to BB+ from BBB-, and warned it could lower ratings further, after getting more clarity on the macroeconomic repercussions of the sanctions. “In our view, the sanctions announced to date could carry significant negative implications for the Russian banking sector’s ability to act as a financial intermediary for international trade,” S&P said. It also cut Ukraine’s rating to B- from B. Russia now has an “investment grade” rating of Baa3 from Moody’s and an equivalent BBB- from Fitch, due to one of the lowest debt levels in the world at just 20% of gross domestic product (GDP), and nearly $650 billion of currency reserves.
