Luxembourg has retained its AAA credit rating from Morningstar DBRS and Fitch Ratings, with both agencies assigning a stable outlook, RTL Today reported on October 24. The decisions were announced on October 23. The agencies highlighted the country\u2019s economic fundamentals, public finances and effective institutions. Political stability and the resilience of its internationally connected economy were also identified as strengths in a challenging global environment. The assessments follow recent confirmations of Luxembourg\u2019s top ratings by S&P Global Ratings, Moody\u2019s and Scope Ratings, according to RTL. The latest decisions were the first from Morningstar DBRS and Fitch since the presentation of the country\u2019s 2027 budget. Alongside their positive assessments, both agencies identified growing pressure on public finances. RTL\u2019s account cited rising social expenditure, gradually increasing interest payment obligations and substantial public investment, particularly in infrastructure, housing, defence and the energy transition. Despite those demands, the agencies considered Luxembourg\u2019s budgetary position more favourable than that of most other eurozone countries. They forecast steady growth over the coming years, with the financial sector\u2019s adaptability and continued strength supporting that outlook. External risks remain part of the assessment. Geopolitical tensions and volatility in international markets could affect Luxembourg\u2019s prospects, the agencies cautioned. RTL reported that the government viewed the two confirmations as an endorsement of its fiscal policy and international confidence in the country\u2019s financial direction. The assessments nevertheless paired that confidence with attention to spending pressures and Luxembourg\u2019s exposure to developments abroad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
