Standard & Poor’s has upgraded the credit rating of Qantas to "BBB-" with a "stable" outlook. Qantas had lost its investment-grade credit rating in December 2013 due to its financial problems. Meanwhile, CEO Allan Joyce is upbeat about the outlook for the airline, forecasting that average annual growth in the domestic market will rise to three per cent in the fiscal years from 2016 to 2020. Qantas shares rose by $A0.21 to $A3.76 on 17 November 2015.
