Invece la Danimarca conserva la AAA per S&P... si scopre (almeno per me, che non la seguivo così da vicino) che il paese è reduce da 4 anni in cui ha registrato surplus di bilancio compresi fra il 3% ed il 5% e che nella situazione attuale, scontati gli interventi a sostegno di banche ed economia, S&P prevede che il risultato di bilancio possa deteriorarsi fino a raggiungere la parità...
Kingdom of Denmark's Proposed 4% Bullet Loans Assigned 'AAA' Rating
LONDON (Standard & Poor's) Jan. 19, 2009--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today said it had assigned its 'AAA' rating to the Kingdom of Denmark's proposed 4% bullet loans due on Nov. 15, 2019. Details of the amounts offered will be announced as soon as available.
Standard & Poor's affirmed the 'AAA' long-term rating on Denmark on Jan. 13, 2009 (see "Kingdom of Denmark 'AAA/A-1+' Ratings Affirmed; Outlook Stable," published Jan. 13, 2009, on RatingsDirect). The affirmation reflects our opinion of the resilience of the highly flexible, diversified, and competitive Danish economy, and the strength of public finances even in the midst of a global economic downturn.
We believe that this more difficult external environment will prompt the Danish economy to contract in real terms in 2009 as export volumes fall and as consumer and business confidence flags. We expect that public consumption and investment will provide some offsetting support to growth in 2009. As a result, we project that the general government fiscal outturn will fall to a balanced position in 2009 from surpluses of 3%-5% of GDP in the last four years.
However, we do not view these as permanent and significant shifts in the economy or public finances and expect Denmark to continue to perform well compared with the 'AAA' median. GDP per capita in 2009 ($64,000) is expected to be significantly over the 'AAA' median ($49,000) and, similarly, the gross debt burden is expected to remain less than half of the 'AAA' median.
