Investment Grades: International Confidence in Indonesia's Resilient Economy
One piece of evidence of international confidence in the Indonesian economy is the steady upgrades in the country's credit ratings by international financial services companies such as Standard & Poor's, Fitch Ratings and Moody's.

S&P may follow soon, depending on the fuel price hike issue.
