S&P affirms South Africa's BBB credit rating

Published March 13, 2013 Updated March 13, 2013 04:24pm

standard_poors_400NEW YORK: Rating agency Standard & Poor's on Wednesday affirmed South Africa's sovereign credit rating at BBB with a negative outlook, citing policy continuity and gradual fiscal consolidation.

"The ratings are constrained by South Africa's many development needs and social challenges, which may create increasing political

pressures and may increase fiscal spending pressure in the future," S&P said in a statement.
