Why Does Moody's rate France higher than Israel
2026-11-08
[Jpost] Moody’s decision to keep France’s credit rating well above Israel’s raises a question: How much weight does the agency put on each country’s economic performance?

The US-based credit rating agency affirmed France’s sovereign rating at Aa3 over the weekend. Israel remains at Baa1, four notches lower.
----------
Summary of facts in opinion piece:
Israel has less debt per capita, a stronger currency, a better GDP growth rate and a few other advantages.
Sure, but it’s the only Jewish state, whereas France is a plain vanilla, historic Western democracy.
