CDO Collateralized Debt Obligations Fitch Goldman Sachs ratings Real estate recovery

Fitch Ratings has today downgraded 10 classes of CDO notes and affirmed 14 classes of CDO notes following the agency's downgrade of Spain's Long-term foreign and local currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) to 'AA+' from 'AAA'."The sovereign downgrade reflects Fitch's assessment that the process of adjustment to a lower level of private sector and external indebtedness will materially reduce the rate of growth of the Spanish economy over the medium-term."
