This prediction has left the live shortlist.

Moody's, S&P, and Fitch are global credit rating agencies that assess sovereign debt risk. The Gulf Cooperation Council comprises oil-producing states whose fiscal stability depends heavily on hydrocarbon exports through the Strait of Hormuz.

The claim

By September 30, 2026, at least one major credit rating agency (Moody's, S&P, or Fitch) publishes a formal sector review or negative outlook update for Gulf Cooperation Council sovereign debt, citing the structural impact of the Hormuz closure on hydrocarbon export revenues.
