Fitch lowers Bank of Ceylon

Fitch Ratings said it downgraded Bank of Ceylon's long-term foreign- and local-currency issuer default ratings to B- from B.

The downgrades follow the downgrade of the Sri Lankan sovereign rating on April 24, which reflects the effect of the escalating pandemic on Sri Lanka's economy, Fitch said.

The outlook remains negative.
