Asia-Pacific outlook negative for Moody's

SOVEREIGN creditworthiness in the Asia-Pacific region will likely take a hit this year due to weak global demand and a deterioration in debt affordability, Moody's Investors Service said on Monday.

The debt watcher said its negative outlook was premised primarily on a slowdown in China, which would limit the region's output, tight funding conditions, and geoeconomic factors.
