Fitch Revises Outlook on The Netherlands to Stable

(The following statement was released by the rating agency) Link to Fitch Ratings’ Report: Netherlands Rating Action Report here LONDON, July 11 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings has revised the Outlook on The Netherlands’ Long term foreign and local canada goose outlet store near me currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) to Stable from Negative and affirmed the IDRs at ‘AAA’. The issue ratings on The Netherlands’ senior unsecured foreign and local currency bonds have also been affirmed at ‘AAA’. The agency has also affirmed The Netherlands’ Short term foreign currency IDR at ‘F1+’ and the Country Ceiling at ‘AAA’. KEY RATING DRIVERS The revision of the Outlook reflects the canada goose outlet london following key rating drivers and their relative weights: High The outlook for public finances has improved markedly since Fitch’s previous review canada goose premium outlet due to lower fiscal deficit forecasts and improved growth projections. Fitch estimates that gross general government debt will peak at 75% of GDP in 2014. This is earlier and at canada goose parka uk a lower level relative to our previous rating review in January 2014, which forecast a peak at 80% of GDP in 2018 19. canada goose outlet germany In canada goose outlet michigan Fitch’s view, public debt dynamics are within the tolerance of a ‘AAA’ rating. We consider 80% 90% (ie, within this range, not at 90%) is normally the upper canada goose shop uk limit of (projected) public debt/GDP compatible with retaining a ‘AAA’ rating, provided the ratio is then placed on a firm downward path and other fundamentals are of the highest credit quality. Medium The Netherlands’ fiscal performance in 2013 exceeded Fitch’s expectations. The general government deficit stood at 2.5% of GDP, below Fitch’s estimate at the time of the last rating review (3.3% of GDP). Fitch canada goose outlet washington dc expects the deficit to decline to 2% of GDP canada goose outlet online reviews by 2015. The canada goose outlet london uk Dutch economy is gradually recovering. Although real GDP declined by 0.6% qoq in 1Q14 (0% on an annual basis), the figures were distorted by one off http://www.canadagoosesalesus.com factors. GDP components and subsequent high frequency indicators point to a broad based gradual recovery. Fitch has revised upwards its forecasts for real GDP growth to 0.7% in 2014 and 1.4% in 2015 (from 0% and 1%). The revision for 2014 reflects stronger investment growth than previously expected, a smaller drag from fiscal policy in 2015 16 relative canada goose outlet belgium to the previous rating review, a more benign housing market outlook and a gradual pick up in real disposable income. House prices bottomed out in 2H13, earlier than Fitch’s previous baseline (mid 2014). Household consumption in the Netherlands was exceptionally weak in 2011 13 as canada goose outlet buffalo high levels of mortgage debt, coupled with high loan to value ratios, made Dutch households particularly sensitive to swings in house prices. The negative wealth effect is now easing. The recent canada goose victoria parka outlet turnaround in the housing market has been mirrored by a pick up in consumer confidence and a gradual improvement in private consumption growth. Fitch expects this trend to continue. There is reduced risk from contingent liabilities. In recent years Dutch banks have gradually improved their funding and capital positions. The risks from the eurozone crisis management mechanism, including the EFSF and ESM, have also eased owing to the actions of the ECB and the on going economic recovery canada goose outlet in chicago of the single currency area. canada goose outlet los angeles The Netherlands’ ‘AAA’ ratings also reflect the following canada goose outlet website legit key rating drivers: The flexible, diversified, high value added and competitive economy benefits from strong domestic institutions, a track record of sound budgetary canada goose outlet mississauga management and historically broad public and political consensus in support of fiscal discipline. Building this consensus has been more challenging of late, but political parties still achieved an agreement on the 2014 budget. The country has run consistent current account surpluses of 7% 10% of GDP and has a positive net international investment position. Fitch considers financing risk is low, reflecting an average debt maturity of seven canada goose outlet uk fake years, low borrowing costs and strong financing flexibility underpinned by The Netherlands’ status as a core eurozone sovereign issuer, with deep capital markets. The banking sector has been resilient to the prolonged housing market decline and Fitch expects it should remain so. The main problems for Dutch banks’ canada goose jacket outlet sale asset quality are commercial real estate exposures and the SME segment. The former has been a concern, particularly following the nationalisation of SNS Bank in February 2013, and the latter has been hit by the extended canada goose outlet eu period of weak economic conditions. However, Fitch does not expect these issues to be canada goose stockists uk large enough to result in additional sovereign bail outs. RATING SENSITIVITIES The Outlook is Stable. Consequently, Fitch’s sensitivity analysis does not canada goose factory outlet toronto location currently anticipate developments with a high likelihood of leading to a rating change. However, future developments that could individually or collectively, result in a downgrade include: Significant fiscal easing or growth underperformance, leading to the public debt ratio peaking higher and later. Crystallisation of substantial canada goose outlet new york contingent liabilities arising from a range of potential sources, including the banking sector (for example as a result of the ECB Comprehensive Assessment), the Nationale Hypotheek Garantie (NHG) mortgage guarantee scheme or eurozone bail out packages. Policy uncertainty, which could undermine confidence in fiscal and economic prospects. KEY ASSUMPTIONS Fitch assumes that the nationalisation of SNS REAAL and its banking subsidiary, SNS Bank, will have had a one off fiscal impact in 2013. Moreover, the agency is not factoring additional sovereign support to the banking sector in its debt sensitivity analysis from 2014 onwards. Fitch assumes there will not be additional liabilities related to banks’ recapitalisations as a result of the ECB’s Comprehensive Assessment. Even in the event of additional capital requirements for Dutch banks, Fitch believes these will be manageable for the banks and will not result in material sovereign interventions. Fitch assumes that the Dutch sovereign will continue to access market funding at low interest rates. Under Fitch’s Sovereign Rating Criteria and model, eurozone sovereigns are assessed to have a somewhat lower debt tolerance for a given rating than non EMU peers with their own reserve currencies and national central banks willing and able to intervene in sovereign debt markets. There will be some changes in the fiscal figures from the shift to the new ESA2010 methodology. The public debt ratio in 2013 will decline to 68.6% of GDP from 73.5%. The budget deficit for 2013 will fall by 0.2ppt to 2.3% of GDP. Fitch will base its forecast on the new methodology from September when it is introduced across all countries in the EU. Fitch assumes the eurozone will avoid long lasting deflation, such as that experienced by Japan from the 1990s. An extended period of deflation, resulting in no growth in nominal incomes, would slow down balance sheet adjustment in the canada goose outlet ontario Dutch household canada goose jacket uk sector and increase the risk of debt deflation. Fitch assumes the gradual progress in deepening fiscal and financial integration at the eurozone level will continue; key macroeconomic imbalances within the currency union will be slowly unwound; and eurozone governments will tighten fiscal policy over the medium term. It also assumes canada goose outlet shop that the risk of fragmentation of the eurozone remains low.
