Moody’s downgraded Hong Kong’s credit rating, blaming the government’s failure to deal with seven months of social unrest that has driven the economy into recession

HONG KONG—Moody’s downgraded Hong Kong’s credit rating on Monday, slashing its assessment on the Asian financial center and blaming the government’s failure to deal with seven months of social unrest that has driven the economy into recession.

The firm cut its main rating on Hong Kong by one notch to Aa3 from Aa2, saying the downgrade reflects concerns over the city’s institutions, governance strength and “more significant constraints” on the territory’s autonomy from mainland China.

Brand_HK HK has a world class work force. A level of reserve to be admired by economies around the world. Just a shame that we have shameless leaders and administration. Spending taxpayers money on propaganda and gimmicks instead. They are deadweight and liabilities to Hongkong.

FT SPGMarketIntel Reuters business MSCI_Inc tariqahmadbt HKSAR under Carrie Lam just habitually denied any criticism. Be it from Amnesty Int'l, Human Rights Watch, Fitch, Moody's, HK Watch, professional bodies, etc. Sanctions and universal suffrage is urgently needed.

Yes, political unrest is a quantifiable risk to business. Take note business Trump supporters who love his political chaos management style.

Did the government set the fire?

No, they should downgrade china for being an oppressive regime

This is why HK is downgraded

The organizer publicly announced the assembly ended and ask people to leave. Calling him *inciting the crowd* is framing him. Do you even know this is a leaderless movement for over 7 months?🤨Do you really think the Hong Kong crowd need someone to *incite* them? Violent extremists are insisting in endangering: Hong Kong 🇭🇰 stability and progress. Not one country in the 🌎can tolerate, a continous exercise of violence link to domestic terrorism and shield with impunity. amazing how Hong Kong citizens are willing to die for democracy and our president is dismantling it piece by piece. his supporters and enablers should be ashamed of themselves

Police arrest organiser of Hong Kong protest after rally turns violentA prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy activist was arrested by police after a protest he helped organize in the financial district a day earlier turned violent The only reason he was arrested was because he was arrested. The police didn't arrest him because he was arrested. They were arrested because they had a warrant. These young people in Hong Kong have enough sense to reject socialism. Hello!? Pro-democracy? I am not sure how you describe someone who promotes bullying and harming the family of police officers and anyone who have a different opinion to theirs as pro-democracy? May be pro-dictatorship~
