惠誉称,中东战争对亚太企业信用状况构成压力

By

-- 惠誉评级在近期发布的一份报告中指出,中东局势将通过油价上涨、航运和供应链中断、需求疲软以及周期性复苏延迟等方式冲击亚太地区的众多企业行业。 该评级机构表示,即使战争提前结束,由于市场需要时间恢复正常,其对经济和商业的影响仍可能持续到2026年下半年。 惠誉还指出,该地区的企业还面临着其他影响信用评级的因素,例如地缘政治紧张局势、制裁和关税不确定性。 与此同时,惠誉表示,该地区各经济体的增长情况不尽相同。中国国内需求下降、价格竞争持续以及产能过剩等问题对消费品、工业、建材和汽车行业的企业构成压力。 该评级机构指出,印度和一些东南亚国家拥有稳健的国内增长和基础设施支出,以及强劲的家庭消费,这些因素支撑了与当地需求密切相关的行业的信贷走势。 惠誉仍然认为,该地区发行人的 EBITDA 利润率将保持强劲,并总体上超过 15%,从而支持自由现金流的改善。
