Catalan crisis had no effect on ratings: Bonds by 2020

The Generalitat will spend this year attempting to ready itself to issue government bonds, to put its debt out to international markets in 2020. However, Catalonia’s scores with ratings agencies must first increase - and most would currently peg the region’s bonds as “junk”.

DBRS has Catalonia only a fraction below “stable”.
