The Nigerian and Turkish governments are adjusting their monetary policy settings in a way that S&P says could help them rebuild foreign-exchange reserves and stop the population from dollarizing their savings.
Despite the "bright spots" S&P acknowledges, the outlook balance among the 55 countries in their EMEA universe remains the same as a year ago.
There are seven countries with negative outlook and four with a positive one, from six and three respectively in June 2022.
All negative outlooks, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Turkey, Uganda, and Ukraine are rated 'B' or below by S&P.
