Moody's Downgrades Greek Banks...kind of moody if you ask me

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Ratings agency Moody's Investors Service on Friday downgraded the bank financial strength ratings and the deposit and debt ratings of nine Greek banks. The move reflects "their weakening stand-alone financial strength and the anticipated additional pressures stemming from the country's challenged economic prospects," the agency said. Moody's said the deposit and debt ratings will remain on review for possible downgrade, which will be completed when the agency concludes its ongoing review of Greece's sovereign ratings. The move affects National Bank of Greece, EFG Eurobank Ergasias, Agricultural Bank of Greece, General Bank of Greece, Marfin Egnatia Bank and Attica Bank.
