The international credit rating agency S&P Global has confirmed North Macedonia’s credit rating at BB- with a stable outlook, which represents a clear signal of stability and predictability in the country’s macroeconomic policy.
According to a statement by the Ministry of Finance in Skopje, the confirmation of the rating indicates that the country has a controlled level of public debt and is capable of regularly servicing its financial obligations, even amid global economic uncertainty.
The agency’s report states that the country’s economic growth is accelerating thanks to increased public investment in infrastructure projects, as well as rising household incomes through higher wages and pensions. S&P Global expects North Macedonia to record gross domestic product growth of approximately 3.5 per cent in 2026, which further strengthens the confidence of international investors.
The Ministry of Finance of North Macedonia assesses that a stable credit rating opens up new opportunities for financing strategic infrastructure projects and investments, while maintaining fiscal discipline and supporting further economic development.
