Bermuda’s ratings reflect its commitment to fiscal restraint and consolidation (even if slightly delayed), the ongoing recovery of tourism, and KBRA’s expectations for durability in its status as a financial hub. KBRA expects Bermuda to be largely resilient to moves towards global corporate tax reform although risks exist. Bermuda’s innovativeness positions it to be a hub in emerging financial industries. Employment is still below pre-Covid levels, and well below levels from before the Global Financial Crisis, with fiscal and GDP growth implications.
