S&P cuts Italy’s credit rating to 1 notch above junk, citing weak economic growth
– canadianbusiness.com
Standard & Poor’s on Friday downgraded Italy’s credit rating one notch and slashed its forecast for the country’s economic growth next year.
The New York-based agency cut its rating on Italy’s debt to “BBB-.” That’s its lowest investment-grade rating and one notch above “junk” status.
S&P said it expects that the Italian economy will emerge from recession early next year. But the agency now predicts Italy’s economy will grow only 0.2 per cent in 2015, down from its previous forecast of 1.1 per cent for the year.

“Our forecast also reflects our view of Italy’s weak domestic fundamentals, including its difficult business environment and competitiveness challenges,” the agency said.
Italy’s economy has been struggling amid a broad economic slump in Europe, weighed by record-high unemployment and growing government debt…
