Moody's cuts Japan's sovereign rating by one notch: Ratings agency Moody's downgraded Japan's sovereign rating by one notch on Wednesday, heaping more pressure on the country's political leaders to address the industrialized world's largest debt. The new rating puts Japan on a par with China. Moody's said the outlook was stable, after warning in May that it might downgrade Japan over concerns over policy responses to the massive debt. It was the first downgrade by Moody's of Japan's sovereign debt for nine years. Japan's debt stands at around 200 percent of its GDP, after years of pump-priming measures by governments trying in vain to arrest the economy's long decline. Much of government spending is swallowed up by a social security system catering to a rapidly ageing population, while entrenched deflation and a feeble economy have made it hard for lawmakers to curb borrowing. The downgrade puts Moody's on a par with other major ratings companies Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings, both of which rate Japan's sovereign debt at AA- with a negative outlook.
