|March 10, 2026
FITCH RATINGS ON Monday said the Iran conflict could raise additional challenges for some emerging market sovereigns in areas like energy imports, remittances and exchange rates.
On February 28, the US and Israel launched military strikes on Iran who retaliated with attacks on US positions in the region, as well as Israel.
In a report titled ‘Iran conflict raises new credit risks for emerging market sovereigns’, Fitch said more sustained disruption to global energy supplies from the Gulf than envisaged under its baseline could significantly damage global investor sentiment.
