MOODY'S CORP expects South Africa debt to peak at 86.8% of GDP in 2025 before declining gradually through 2028. Moody's maintains a Ba2 rating with a stable outlook as fiscal reforms and spending restraint improve the sovereign credit profile. Stabilizing debt levels and lower inflation targets could reduce risk premia, offering a more predictable environment for foreign bondholders.
