unsecured shelf."
- Moody's said 1) govt "managed to stabilize the bkng sector. While restoring
the sector to health will take time, the tail risk of a deeper bkng crisis with
significant impact on the sovereign's balance sheet has been reduced with the
govt's actions on the weakest bks earlier this yr;"
- 2) "Italian econ. is currently seeing stronger growth, after 6 yrs of very
weak outturns, with the recovery now being increasingly broad-based." Moody's
feels "nr-term outlk for growth is now stronger" than "expected earlier," wh/
"shd help to stabilize public finances and prevent a further increase in the
public debt ratio over the coming yrs."
- It said "downside risks" remain "elevated, leading the rtg agency to maintain
the negative outlook on the Baa2 rating. Despite the recent improvement, Italy's
growth prospects are likely to remain moderate over the medium-term."
