Egypt: Moody's Upgrades Egypt Credit Rating As Debt Falls, Reserves Rise
[Daba Finance] Moody's Ratings has upgraded Egypt's sovereign credit rating by 1 notch to B3 from Caa1, citing improvements in government finances, lower debt and stronger foreign exchange reserves.

The decision reflects progress in Egypt's economic reform programme, although borrowing costs and debt repayments remain a concern.
