The Rating Agency Moody's has aligned UniCredit SpA's ratings with that of the sovereign (Itay is rated "A2/P-1" negative). The long-term debt and deposit ratings have been downgraded to "A2" negative and its standalone rating ("Bank Financial Strength Rating" or "BFSR") to "C-" stable. The bank's "Prime-1" short-term rating has been affirmed at the same time.
Moody's downgraded several Italian banks driven by the downgrade of Italy and its changed systemic support rating assumptions.
