France’s credit rating was cut to AA by Fitch Ratings, which said the downgrade reflected the absence of a material improvement in the nation’s public debt dynamics and slippage in the budget deficit targets.

The nation’s long-term foreign- and local-currency grade was previously AA+, Fitch said today in a statement. The outlook is stable, according to the rating company.
