Fitch Ratings confirmed Greece’s credit rating at BBB+ with a stable outlook

Fitch had upgraded Greece to investment-grade status last November.
In its statement, the agency noted that its assessment is based on Greece’s higher level of per capita income compared with the average of countries rated in the “BBB” category, as well as governance indicators that are slightly above the category average. It also highlighted the country’s credible policy framework, strengthened by its membership in the European Union and the euro area.

She further stressed that local communities must remain at the center of tourism development, while safeguarding the country’s natural and cultural heritage is of paramount importance.
Referring to the role of technology and artificial intelligence, the Minister underlined that they can serve as valuable tools for managing tourist flows, improving services, and designing more effective policies based on real-time data.
