Greece was hit with another financial headache Friday after Fitch Ratings slashed its credit rating on the countryโ€™s debt because of mounting concerns about the governmentโ€™s ability to get a handle on its debt.

Fitch, one of the worldโ€™s 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 Greeceโ€™s debt at junk status โ€” an ignominious position for a country using the euro.
