In inglese, ma si capisce, eccome!
Italy’s
credit rating was cut by
Standard & Poor’s on concern that weakening economic growth and a “
fragile” government mean the nation won’t be able to reduce the euro-region’s second-largest debt burden.
The rating was lowered to A from A+, with a negative outlook, S&P said in a statement. The company said Italy’s net general government debt is the highest among A-rated sovereigns, and now expects it to peak later and at a higher level than it previously anticipated.
S&P also said it lowered its outlook for Italy’s annual average
growth to 0.7 percent for 2011 to 2014, from a prior projection of 1.3 percent. “We believe the reduced pace of Italy’s economic activity to date will make the government’s revised fiscal targets difficult to achieve,” it said.
Il motivo principale è la scarsa crescita, ma anche il governo.
Vedremo le reazioni in settimana sia nei mercati, sia in politica..
