LONDON, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Rating agency Fitch is likely to downgrade any country that follows Ethiopia and applies to use a new debt relief programme from the G20 group of major economies, one of its top analysts said on Thursday.
Fitch chopped Ethiopia’s credit score by two notches this week after Addis Ababa signalled it could be the first with an international government bond to use a new G20 ‘Common Framework’ plan.
The scheme, which is open to over 70 of the world’s poorest countries, encourages their governments to defer or negotiate down their external debt as part of a wider debt relief programme.

AMSTERDAM, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Italy’s government bond yields fell sharply on Wednesday despite ongoing uncertainty over the future of the government in Rome.
Other European government bond yields were also lower, but the drop was more moderate, with peripheral countries roughly in line with the core, tracking U.S. Treasuries.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte told reporters he was working on a new coalition pact to last until the end of the legislature and said he was convinced that unity could be restored if there was goodwill from all sides.
Ten-year Italian government bond yields were down 8 basis points to 0.55% after a 10 bps rise on Tuesday delivered their worst session since early November.
