| (AFX UK Focus) 2008-03-14 14:20 GMT: Budapest outlook lowered to negative after Hungary outlook cut - S&P
MUMBAI (Thomson Financial) - Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its outlook on the Hungary's capital city Budapest to negative from stable, following a similar cut in the country's outlook, arising from worsening prospects for public finance consolidation from next year. S&P said it has also affirmed the city's 'BBB+' long-term and 'A-2' short-term foreign and local currency issuer credit ratings. Budapest's ratings are closely linked to that of the country as nearly half of the city's debt is guaranteed by the state and all contract loans are linked by cross-default clauses, S&P said. S&P added that the city's ratings continue to be constrained by Budapest's lack of financial flexibility, which results from the Hungarian institutional framework for local and regional governments.
