The UK has had its credit
rating outlook downgraded to "negative" by the ratings agency Moody's
after the country voted to leave the EU.
Moody's said the result
would herald "a prolonged period of uncertainty".
Meanwhile, PM David Cameron
is under pressure to speed up "divorce" talks with the EU after
Brussels said exit negotiations should start immediately.
EU head Jean-Claude Juncker
said it was "not an amicable divorce", but it was "not a tight
love affair anyway".
Moody's said the referendum
result would have "negative implications for the country's medium-term
growth outlook", and it lowered the UK's long term issuer and debt ratings
to "negative" from "stable".
