This is their second upgrade in 8 months which confirms our continued progress,” said Jose Antonio Gonzalez, CEMEX’s Chief Financial Officer. “We remain fully committed towards the goal of achieving an investment grade capital structure.”

Additionally to the upgrade in its global scale, S&P also upgraded CEMEX's Corporate credit rating in its national scale to mxA from mxA-. The rating outlook is stable.
