Standard & Poor's Ratings Services: Greece Long-Term Rating Lowered One Notch To 'B-' And Kept On CreditWatch Negative

Date 06/02/2015

OVERVIEW

Liquidity constraints have narrowed the timeframe during which Greece's 
new government can reach an agreement with its official creditors on a 
financing programme, in our view. 
We believe the potential uncertainties surrounding the timing and success 
of such an agreement risk exacerbating deposit outflows, depressing 
investment, and weakening tax compliance.
As a result, we have lowered our long-term rating on Greece to 'B–' from 
'B'.
The long- and short-term ratings remain on CreditWatch negative.
