Moody’s increase Slovakia’s rating

Moody's Investors Service has changed the outlook on Slovakia's rating to positive from stable and confirmed the A2 issuer and senior unsecured ratings. Moody's decision to change the outlook to positive in Slovakia's A2 rating reflects two drivers: Slovakia's continued strong economic growth prospects for the coming three years and an anticipated pick-up in the pace of public sector debt reduction supported by robust growth and continued fiscal consolidation.
