In a significant stride towards economic stability, Fitch Ratings, one of the big three credit rating agencies, has upgraded Pakistan’s credit rating from ‘CCC’ to ‘CCC+’. This improvement underscores the country’s ongoing efforts to bolster its economy, navigate fiscal challenges, and lay the groundwork for sustainable growth.
