Fitch Ratings downgraded on July 1st 2021 Colombia’s sovereign credit rating to ‘BB+‘ from ‘BBB-’ and changed its outlook to 'stable' from 'negative', citing as reasons behind the revision the deterioration of the public finances with large fiscal deficits in 2020-2022, a rising government debt level, and reduced confidence around the capacity of the government to credibly place debt on a downward path in the coming years. Standard & Poor's credit rating for Colombia stands at BB+ with stable outlook. Moody's credit rating for Colombia was last set at Baa2 with negative outlook. DBRS's credit rating for Colombia is BBB (low) with stable outlook. In general, a credit rating is used by sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and other investors to gauge the credit worthiness of Colombia thus having a big impact on the country's borrowing costs.

Standard & Poor, Moody's, Fitch and DBRS' sovereign debt credit rating is displayed above. In addition, the Trading Economics (TE) credit rating is shown scoring the credit worthiness of a country between 100 (riskless) and 0 (likely to default). Unlike the ratings provided by the major credit agencies, our index is numerical because we believe it is easier to understand and more insightful when comparing multiple countries. Arguably, our ratings are less likely to be manipulated because they are unsolicited and we are not paid in any way to provide countries with a rating. Technically, our ratings are based on a forward looking macro economic model which takes into account several leading economic indicators, financial markets and very little discretion.
