LONDON (Dow Jones)–Turkish Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek said Tuesday he expects rating agencies to upgrade Turkey’s credit rating after elections next year.
Speaking in London, Simsek said Turkey deserves a better credit rating, adding that the market already prices Turkey as an investment-grade country.
“Rating agencies usually lag the market,” he said. “After elections next year I think the rating agencies will come on board,” he added.
