S&P Declare Greece In Default But Moody's Holds Back
While Standard & Poor's has said that Greece is in 'selective default,' today, rival rating agency Moody’s warned that banks with exposure to Greek debt may be forced to take an impairment charge on their holdings if the proposed bailout is executed. Moody's did not specifically warn, however, that the bail out would put Greece in default.
