NEW YORK, Aug 13 (Reuters) - U.S. credit rating agency
Standard & Poor's is concerned about Russia's financial
situation and is currently reviewing the country's single-B-plus
foreign currency debt rating, an S&P rating analyst told Reuters
on Thursday.
"We are concerned about the Russian government's ability to
stabilize the economy and its fiscal accounts in particular,
which has caused a deterioration in market confidence," said
Alexei Remizov, S&P sovereign analyst.
He declined to comment about the timing of any potential
rating change.
