Fitch cuts #Greece's rating to CCC, 3 notches above default, on uncertainty over aid release. http://reut.rs/1xH34W3
(Reuters) – Ratings
agency Fitch on Friday cut Greece’s credit rating to ‘CCC’ from ‘B’
saying lack of market access, tight liquidity and uncertainty over the
timely release of aid from its official creditors are exerting pressure
on government funding.
Fitch, Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s had all lifted Greece’s
rating last year as the economy showed tentative signs of getting back
on its feet after six-years of recession.But the new leftist government’s standoff with its euro zone partners and the International Monetary Fund over reforms needed to resume remaining bailout funding have clouded the direction of future policy making, rendering the outlook uncertain.
“We expect that the government will survive the current liquidity squeeze without running arrears on debt obligations, but the heightened risks have led us to downgrade the ratings,” the agency said.
