The ratings agency, which has SA one level below investment grade with a negative outlook, does not anticipate an upgrade in the near future

Moody’s Investors Service says SA’s rating is “increasingly constrained” by its worsening fiscal position and weak economy.

It has SA one level below investment grade with a negative outlook, meaning the next move is more likely to be down than up.
