Het is vandaag exact een half jaar geleden dat S&P ermee dreigde om de rating van België te verlagen indien er geen regering zou gevormd worden binnen 6 maanden.

“We believe that Belgium’s prolonged domestic political uncertainty poses risks to its government’s credit standing, especially given the difficult market conditions many euro zone governments are facing,” S&P said in a statement. “We could lower the sovereign rating on Belgium one notch if we conclude that the lack of consensus will result in the government not being able to stabilise its debt trajectory. “If Belgium fails to form a government soon, a downgrade could occur, potentially within six months,” it said.

Dient S&P vandaag het genadeschot aan België toe?
