The credit agency, Moody’s, has decided to cut the credit ratings of six countries within the Eurozone: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Malta, Slovakia and Slovenia. In addition, it also warned of a possible downgrade for three countries with AAA credit ratings: Austria, France and the United Kingdom. The cuts and downgrades stem from how vulnerable these countries are to being effected by the Eurozone credit crisis.
