TL;DR
- Fitch Ratings downgraded Ecopetrol's global rating from BB+ to BB with a stable outlook.
- The downgrade is in line with Fitch's downgrade of Colombia's sovereign rating to BB.
- Fitch considers the strong link between Ecopetrol and the Colombian sovereign to be a key factor in the rating.
- Oleoducto Central S.A. (Ocensa) also saw its long-term rating lowered from BB+ to BB, with a stable outlook.
- Ocensa's rating is closely tied to Ecopetrol, its largest shareholder and main client.
- Despite the sovereign-linked downgrade, Ecopetrol's Stand Alone Credit Profile (SACP) was maintained at 'bbb-', within investment grade.
- Fitch highlighted Ecopetrol's strategic importance as Colombia's primary hydrocarbon producer and refiner.
