Mali: Serbia to get investment-grade ratings from both Fitch and Moody's by end-2025

WASHINGTON - Serbian First Deputy PM and Finance Minister Sinisa Mali said on Thursday he was optimistic about Serbia obtaining investment-grade ratings from both Fitch and Moody's by the end of next year after Standard & Poor's upgraded the country's rating to investment grade earlier this month.

In a statement after separate meetings with representatives of the three rating agencies in Washington, Mali said one of the remaining two agencies would give Serbia an investment-grade rating early next year and that the other would do the same by the end of 2025.

"Serbia is on a good path," Mali said.

The meetings marked the start of Mali's participation in the IMF/World Bank Group Annual Meetings in Washington, held from October 21 through 26.
