“We, of course, positively assess the new confirmation of the sovereign credit rating of the Russian Federation by the agency Fitch Ratings at the level of 'BBB' with a stable outlook,” RIA Novosti quoted Siluanov as saying.
In his opinion, the consistent confirmation of the Russian rating by the Big Three agencies speaks of the correctness of Russia's macroeconomic policy.
Earlier, the international rating agency Fitch affirmed Russia's long-term sovereign issuer default rating (IDR) at 'BBB'.
