20 13 on February 22nd, Moody's Credit Rating Company officially announced that it would downgrade Britain's credit rating from Aaa to Aa 1. After the United States 20 1 1 and France 20 12, it is now Britain's turn to downgrade. This is the first time that Britain has lost the highest rating from an authoritative rating agency.

In fact, Moody's downgraded Britain's sovereign and central bank rating outlook from stable to negative as early as last February. After a year's observation, it finally officially dropped. Looking back, in March, Moody's gave the UK the highest rating of Aaa, 1978, while Standard & Poor's and Fitch both gave the UK the highest AAA rating. However, the latter two have a negative rating outlook for the UK, so it is estimated that the UK will be re-evaluated.
