As of June 10th 2012 Spain is de facto a defaulted country. It requested an international aid after the interest rate on its bonds had passed 6,5% and was closing 7%. A country that can not finance itself alone at the price that the markets request is a defaulted country. That's why the rating of Spain is changed to D, as from June 10th 2012.
The calculation below is if Spain had not requested an aid.
Debt/GDP = 0,68 (68%)
Accumulated deficit for last 5
years/budget income for last 5 years = 0,11
Years since last default = 73
(1939)
5-year
inflation = 0,11 (11%)
Budget expences/GDP = 0,45
Trade deficit/GDP =
0,035
World GDP per capita/Country GDP per capita = 0,26
Political factor
= 0,2
Crisis factor = 0,4 (involved in current war - Afghanistan)
Other
unique factors = 2 (exceptional current default risk, unability to reform the heavy social system, investors are losing confidence and running away from Spain)
OVERALL CREDIT SCORE:
0,729 (72,9%). This responds to BB.
Calculated with this (new) formula:
r =
10/{[1+(debt/GDP)] + [1+10*(accumulated deficit for last 5 years/budget income
for last 5 years)] + [1 + (10/years since last default)] + [1+3*(accumulated of
last 5 years inflation)] + [1+(budget expences/GDP)] + [1+ 10* (trade
deficit/GDP)] + [world's GDP per capita/country's GDP per capita] + [1+political
factor] + [1+crisis factor] + [Other unique factors]}
