Fitch upped Ireland’s rating to AA from AA-, the agency said in a statement late on Friday. That implies a “very low default risk” and a “very strong capacity for payment of financial commitments.” The upgrade is a sign of continued international confidence in the Irish economy. It could also potentially impact Ireland’s borrowing costs at future bond sales.
