Morocco's phosphate producer OCP ended its relationship with Fitch Ratings, the only one of the three major agencies still assigning it a speculative-grade rating. Fitch withdrew its ratings after OCP stopped providing the information it needed, having kept the long-term rating at BB+ with a stable outlook.
A withdrawn rating has little direct effect on phosphate supply or prices, though OCP's financing costs could affect its investment capacity in fertilizer output.
