Sovereign rating — Fitch

6latest · 2026-08-14

UPDATED ON SOURCE ACTION

Iraq’s credit rating from Fitch, placed on a common 21-notch scale (AAA at the top). Iraq sits at B− — six notches into speculative territory: bond markets will lend, at a price. The letter grade and outlook ride with each point; entries are added when the agency acts, which is a few times a year at most.

One reading so far — this series updates irregular; the chart builds as readings arrive.
