Moody's says Egypt's political instability a 'credit negative' Investors services says the new cabinet is failing to address popular demands for a transition from military rule, fuelling uncertainty over investment
Egypt's continued political and financial instability is a “credit negative” for the country, Moody's Investors Service said on Monday.

Banks are increasingly vulnerable to sovereign credit risk because of their high exposure to government debt, Moody's added.

New ratings will be made by the end of the year, Reuters reported
