The Republic of Iceland's sovereign credit ratings
Three credit rating agencies issue sovereign ratings for the Republic of Iceland: Moody’s Investors Service, Fitch Ratings, and Standard & Poor’s. Whereas the Bank previously handled regular communications with the credit rating agencies on behalf of the Government, this role has since been transferred to the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs.
As of the end of 2021, the Central Bank no longer publishes information on the Republic’s sovereign credit ratings. Updated information on Iceland’s sovereign credit ratings can be found on the Government of Iceland website: The Republic of Iceland's sovereign credit ratings.
