The investment-grade annual default rate was zero, while the speculative-grade annual default rate reached 9.3%; by comparison the 2019 speculative-grade rate was 1.9%. Over the long-term period, 1995-2020, the average annual sovereign default rate was 0.9%, with an investment-grade rate of zero and a speculative-grade average annual default rate of 2.3%. In all, Fitch’s transition and default data contains 26 cohorts from 1995–2020, allowing for 26 unique one-year transition rates, 25 two-year transition rates, 24 three-year transition rates, and so forth. From these annual default rates, Fitch derives average annual default rates by weighting each cohort’s default rates by the number of ratings outstanding in the given cohort relative to the number of total ratings outstanding for all cohorts. Following the example above, the 2002 “BB” annual default rate of 2% might be followed by a 2003 “BB” annual default rate of 1%.

Speaking to us, State Ministry of Ornamental Fish, Inland Fish, and Prawn Farming, Fishery Harbour Development, Multi-Day Fishing Activities, and Fish Exports Secretary Jayantha Chandrasoma said that the coastal fisheries area that has been affected because of the burning ship is a limited ocean area and cannot be expected to affect fishing exports overall. Secretary Chandrasoma said that he did not come across any country that made alterations or cancelled fish stock exports so far as a result of the ship incident. Further explaining his statement on the impact of fishing exports, Chandrasoma noted that the amount of nitric acid that has been released to the ocean would not affect the ocean water. Moreover, deep sea fishing is the main source of fish exports and it can be continued in normal conditions, he said. Thus, the fish exports will not be affected, Chandrasoma said.

Italy extended on Sunday an entry ban for people coming from Sri Lanka, India, and Bangladesh, as a continued precaution against the more transmissible B.1.617 variant of the novel coronavirus. The ban, which does not apply to Italian citizens, was introduced in late April and was due to expire on Sunday. It was prolonged until June 21, a spokesman for Italian Health Minister Roberto Speranza said in a statement.
