Greece was hit with another financial headache Friday after Fitch Ratings slashed its credit rating on the countryโs debt because of mounting concerns about the governmentโs ability to get a handle on its debt.
Fitch, one of the worldโs big three ratings agency, lowered its rating by two notches, to BBB-, and said that the outlook on the country remains negative.
The downgrade means Greek debt remains investment grade โ but only just. Another downgrade would put Greeceโs debt at junk status โ an ignominious position for a country using the euro.
