Iceland sees its credit rating increased

Friday, 17 February 2012
Iceland is gradually coming back to its original position – greatness as credit rating agency, Fitch raises Iceland's credit ratings to BBB-.

This means that the country can now be regarded as a sufficiently credible borrowers and that the outlook looks stable out of the country.

In May last year, Fitch raised the outlook for Iceland's credit rating from negative to stable. The decision was based on that the Icelandic economy is beginning to stabilize after the financial collapse of 2008

In November, Moody's noted that Iceland is in the right direction and that it may develop a  surplus in the budget in a few years.
