LUXEMBOURG MAINTAINS TRIPLE AAA
(CS) Fitch Ratings has kept its AAA rating of Luxembourg with a stable outlook unchanged, leaving the Grand Duchy one of only nine countries worldwide to hold the top rating by the three leading agencies.
Luxembourg has also been rated AAA with a stable outlook by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s. This makes the country part of an exclusive club of only nine countries to hold a triple AAA. The others are Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Singapore, Sweden and Switzerland.
