“We positively assess today's decision by Fitch Ratings to confirm the sovereign credit rating of the Russian Federation at the BBB level with a stable outlook,” TASS quoted him as saying.
According to him, the agency's low level of Russian government debt and the growth of fiscal reserves are "a guarantee of the stability of the Russian economy in the face of potential external shocks."
Earlier it became known that the international rating agency Fitch has affirmed Russia's long-term issuer default rating (IDR) in foreign currency at 'BBB' with a stable outlook.
