Moody\\\'s boosts outlook for Netherlands, Belgium
Sunday, 9 March 2014
WASHINGTON, Mar 8 (AFP) : Moody's raised its credit outlook for the Netherlands and Belgium on Friday, elevating both to stable from negative as the eurozone economy improves.
The Netherlands kept its top-level Aaa rating, while Belgium was three levels down at Aa3.
Moody's said the Netherlands outlook improved because it was less likely to be called on to help fund rescues of weaker eurozone countries, including troubled Italy and Spain.
