Italy, Standard & Poor's confirms rating: economy still at risk

Standard and Poor's does not downgrade Italy, but neither does it promote it, as it did recently with Spain: the US rating agency confirmed the BBB/A-2 scores assigned to Italy's long and short-term sovereign debt. The confirmation - indicates Standard and Poor's in a note - reflects the assessment of "a rich and diversified economy" and the risks of a "fragile recovery in a context of high public debt". The outlook remains negative.
