March 15 (Reuters) - S&P Global raised Argentina's long-term ratings to 'CCC' from 'SD/SD' on Friday, following the results of a local bond swap that cleared over $50 billion in upcoming maturities.

"'CCC' long-term foreign and local currency ratings reflect the government's modestly better liquidity position", the ratings agency said, adding that Argentina's long-term ratings were stable.
