Fitch: Upgrades of major economies unlikely in 2021 – Reuters
|Ratings agency Fitch told Reuters on Tuesday that upgrades of any major economy are unlikely in 2021 despite increased expectations for a swift global economic recovery on potential coronavirus vaccines.
Fitch added that countries in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa continue to show the highest level of vulnerability to further adverse action in the coming year.
