VIENNA, Sept 21 (Reuters) -
Austria's finance ministry has no indication any debt ratings agency may cut its outlook for the AAA-rated country, it said on Wednesday in response to a market rumour its sovereign debt could be placed on credit watch negative by one of the agencies.
"We see this as an unfounded rumour. We don't know anything about it," a ministry spokesman said. "We have good contacts with the ratings agencies and assume this would have been a topic in talks (with them), but it wasn't."
