According to DZ Bank strategist Daniel Lenz,
“Greece is still a credit that is risky and volatile, but at least it’s now not one step away from default but two steps away.”
In other words, the upgrading the status means for Greece a possibility to attract some high-yield investors. Their financial flows are able to recover the Greek economy. Last month, S&P upgraded country’s status to “B-“, while Moody’s still not so optimistic regarding Greece, it has a “Caa2” rating.
