Fitch said that after China’s economy was hit hard by the new pneumonia epidemic in the first quarter, although economic growth is still uneven, it has recovered significantly. In addition, Fitch believes that the escalating geopolitical situation in China and the US will not affect China’s credit base for the time being.

According to the report, in the second quarter, Saudi Arabia’s overall government expenditure has also been reduced by 17% year-on-year, but the deficit still cannot be reversed. It is obvious that Saudi Arabia has difficulty facing a low oil price for a long time. But excessive oil prices will release American shale oil.
