Asia-Pacific’s economic growth as well as capital spending is expected to continue amid rising risk of trade interruptions, according to the latest research report from S&P Global Ratings. However, the improving rating trend in the Asia-Pacific region has been slightly flattened, owing to slightly weaker economic sentiment amid an escalating China-U.S. trade dispute and tighter financing conditions.
Given current macroeconomic conditions, the overall net rating outlook bias may remain at around present levels. During the two months ended August 31, 2018, the negative rating bias for Asia-Pacific was flat at -1 percent, after continually improving during the 18 months prior to June 30, 2018.
"Market volatility has returned in the form of currency sell-downs, highlighting the risk of a pullback in asset prices and liquidity. In addition, financing conditions may tighten," said Gavin Gunning, S&P Global Ratings credit analyst.
