Sri Lanka sovereign credit rating

Entities: Sri Lanka · Standard & Poor's · S&P Global Ratings · Moody's Investors Service · International Monetary Fund

Overview

In late July 2026, Standard & Poor's reaffirmed Sri Lanka’s sovereign credit rating at CCC+, highlighting stronger tax collection and a notable rise in debt‑transparency scores that placed the country among the world’s fastest‑improving economies. Two days later, S&P Global Ratings reported that the rating remained stable at a B‑minus level, noting continued macro‑economic policy progress, political stability and improved foreign‑exchange liquidity despite external shocks. The agency also pointed to an upgraded Transfer and Convertibility Assessment, reflecting growing investor confidence. The second report briefly mentioned similar positive outlooks for Papua New Guinea, but the focus remained on Sri Lanka’s credit‑rating trajectory.
