Moody’s è stata molto dura con i bonds governativi emessi dall’Egitto, proprio negli stessi giorni in cui la crisi greca mette in …crisi la solidità economica dell’intera Europa. “Rischiosi”: questo è il giudizio secco dell’agenzia di rating sui bonds egiziani. E questi, secondo il quotidiano indipendente Al Masri al Youm, i motivi:
The international ratings agency Moody’s, in a report released Monday, said that recently issued Egyptian government bonds will carry huge financial risks. Moody’s had described the Egyptian bonds as “junk bonds” on its ratings scale, which is the highest risk level that bonds can score in terms of debt settlement failure. The agency, which many big investors resort to before making transactions, also said that Egypt suffers from numerous financial problems: a huge state budget deficit, a remarkable drop in per capita income, a continuous inflation rate, and an uncertainty as to who will succeed President Hosni Mubarak.
