Fitch lowers El Salvador

Fitch Ratings said it downgraded El Salvador's long-term foreign- and local-currency issuer default ratings to BB from BB+. The B short-term issuer default rating and BBB- country ceiling were affirmed.

The outlook is negative.

The downgrade reflects a structural shift in the country's fiscal and growth trajectory, the agency said.
