PH only Asian economy in Standard & Poor's 'Rising Stars' list


The Philippines is the only Asian economy to make it in its list of "rising stars" this year, a global debt watcher said.

The Philippines is only one in two countries Standard and Poor's Ratings Services (S&P) added to its list of rising stars in 2013, just when the New York-based financial services company is giving more downgrades than upgrade debt ratings. 

S&P defines "rising stars" as countries whose credit score was upgraded from junk to investment grade. This year's list includes 31 countries, where the Philippines is the lone Asian nation.
