Fitch Ratings has also affirmed Coca-Cola FEMSA’s long-term national rating at 'AAA(mex)' and national scale short-term rating at 'F1+(mex)'. The rating outlook is stable.

Under Fitch Rating’s methodology, the rating upgrade for Coca-Cola FEMSA’s IDRs follows Fitch's new Parent and Subsidiary Linkage (PSL) criteria published on December 1, 2021.
