Moody's decision to downgrade Turkey's sovereign credit rating despite positive economic indicators raises doubts on the agency's neutrality, Treasury and Finance Ministry said on early Saturday. "Credit rating agency Moody's decision to downgrade Turkey's credit rating conflicts with the fundamental indicators of Turkish economy and casts shadow over the neutrality and objectivity of the agency's ratings," the ministry said in a statement on Twitter. Moody's cut Turkey's credit rating further on Friday, saying the risk of a balance of payments crisis continued to rise, and with it the risk of a government default.
