A possible credit rating downgrade for the Philippines may soon be in store with Fitch Ratings revising its outlook for the Philippines to 'negative,' which economists warn may lead to fewer jobs and more expensive loans.

While the proposed Bayanihan 3 already hurdled the House of Representatives, Congress as a whole has yet to pass it.

Asuncion also noted that the recent downgrade might make other credit raters also take a look, mentioning in particular S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investors Service.for the Philippines while Moody's affirmed its Baa2 rating. Both ratings come with a stable outlook. BDO chief market strategist Jonathan Ravelas told CNN Philippines the outlook revision is a"writing on the wall" that the country needs to do better in navigating the COVID-19 pandemic.
