not expect an upgrade to India's sovereign debt rating in the next year in the
absence of substantial, quality reforms, it said on Monday, days after the
government's budget slowed the pace of fiscal consolidation.
India needs to at least strengthen two of its macroeconomic metrics on
growth, inflation and fiscal health, said Kim Eng Tan, Senior Director,
Asia-Pacific Sovereign Ratings for Standard & Poor's.
"However, again, very big improvement is unlikely to come through
in next year or so... We don't see the rating going up in the next year or
so," Tan said. S&P currently rates India at "BBB-minus", its
lowest investment grade rating, with a "stable" outlook.
