Standard & Poor's Ratings Research Update: Outlook On United Kingdom Revised To Negative; 'AAA/A-1+' Ratings Affirmed

December 13, 2012--Overview
We now expect the United Kingdom's net general government debt as a percentage of GDP to continue to rise in 2015, before declining again.
Future employment or growth shocks could pressure government finances further.

We are therefore revising our outlook on the unsolicited long-term ratings on the U.K. to negative, from stable, reflecting our view of a one-in-three chance that we could lower the ratings if the U.K.'s economic and fiscal performances weaken beyond our current expectations.

We are affirming our 'AAA/A-1+' long- and short-term unsolicited sovereign credit ratings on the U.K.

We have also revised to negative from stable the outlook on our 'AAA' ratings on the Bank of England and the debt program of Network Rail Infrastructure Finance PLC.

Eleven EU countries get Parliament's all clear for a financial transaction tax

December 12, 2012--Eleven EU countries planning to introduce a financial transaction tax (FTT) won a resounding go-ahead from MEPs on Wednesday.

Together, they account for 90% of Eurozone GDP. MEPs have long advocated an FTT to make financial market players take more responsibility for resolving the crisis that they caused and to discourage excessive risk-taking in future.

"It is not a solution to spare the financial sector from a tax, the very same sector which is now even benefitting from the crisis. Delay in implementing this tax is costing money which is being footed by normal people" said rapporteur Anni Podimata (S&D, EL) in the debate on Tuesday. Her resolution was adopted by 533 votes to 91, with 32 abstentions.

The text stresses that the ultimate goal should still be a worldwide FTT, and urges the EU to continue campaigning for it. To this end, the pioneer eleven should set an example of what a geographically wider tax could achieve, it adds
