Moody's upgrades Paraguay on growth prospects
NEW YORK |
NEW YORK Dec 2 (Reuters) - Moody's Investors Service on Thursday upgraded Paraguay's credit ratings to B1 from B3, citing improved growth prospects and debt metrics in the South American country.
The Paraguayan economy, boosted by commodity exports and increased ties to Brazil, is expected to expand 9 percent in 2010 and close to five percent in coming years, Moody's forecast.
The outlook on the new rating is stable, Moody's said.
