Fitch將英國放入Negative Watch

因為No Deal機會愈黎愈大

評級機構Fitch公佈，因為No Deal Brexit 嘅可能性愈黎愈高，決定將英國嘅AA評級放入負面觀察（Negative Watch），示意Fitch正考慮將英國降級。

The RWN （Rating Watch Negative）on the UK’s ratings reflects primarily the heightened uncertainty over the outcome of the Brexit process, and an increased risk of a disruptive ‘no-deal’ Brexit, where the UK would leave the EU without a withdrawal agreement in place. Fitch believes that a ‘no-deal’ Brexit would lead to substantial disruption to UK economic and trade prospects, at least in the near term.

值得留意係歐洲嘅credit rating agency (CRA) regulation要求評級機構按預定時間表發佈對區內國家評級嘅審核。

但Fitch指原定下次公佈英國評級審核嘅日期係4月26日，即係3月29日Brexit 大限之後，Fitch認為有必要提早公佈對英國嘅評級考量。
