credit rating downgrades
Credit rating downgrades refer to a negative assessment or reduction in the creditworthiness or credit quality of a borrower, usually a company or government entity, assigned by credit rating agencies. Such downgrades indicate an increased risk of defaulting on borrowed funds, leading to a lowered rating that can impact the borrower's ability to secure favorable lending terms and attract investors.
