Latin America’s largest economy has a 70 percent chance of losing its investment grade rating in the next few years, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of economists. Standard & Poor’s said last week it may downgrade the country’s rating and revised its outlook to negative from stable. Brazil’s bonds are currently rated BBB- which is one step away from junk. The company cited Brazil’s political and economic challenges amid an ongoing probe into kickbacks at the country’s state-owned oil company, Petrobras, which President Rousseff chaired at the time.
