Argentina's Credit Rating Upgrade Depends on Reserve Growth, Fitch Warns

Argentina's path to a credit rating upgrade remains conditional on sustained foreign-currency reserve accumulation, according to Fitch Ratings. President Javier Milei's administration has reduced inflation to single digits and slashed public spending, earning two upgrades since late 2024. The country now sits at CCC+, seven notches above its previous speculative grade.

However, Fitch emphasizes that reserve levels must stabilize above $30 billion to mitigate default risks. Analysts note that Monetary Policy adjustments and debt restructuring talks with holdout creditors will also influence future assessments. International markets are closely monitoring Argentina's ability to balance austerity with economic growth.
