REUTERS/Simon Dawson/File Photo Fitch has downgraded a record 35 countries, including 10 more than once, over the last year as the pandemic has shuttered economies and sent debt levels soaring. It looks to be far from over too. The firm still has 35 sovereigns on a ‘negative outlook’ - rating agency parlance for a warning - ranging from top-rated AAAs like the United States and Australia to many at the bottom end of spectrum.
