S&P Global Ratings has lowered the credit ratings of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania due to threats related to Russia. Despite the downgrades, the outlook for the Baltic countries’ credit ratings is stable as the agency is confident that the war will not spread to NATO member countries, where all three Baltic countries are included. President Zelenskyi of Ukraine has warned of potential border provocations in the Baltic Sea region by Russia, with Estonia reporting incidents of Russian activity on their border.
