| Rating agency Moody's has cut Japan's long-term sovereign debt rating, citing concerns about the size of the country's deficit and borrowing levels.
The rating was cut to Aa3 from Aa2, though Moody's also said the country's outlook was stable.
Japan, the world's third-largest economy, has the highest public-debt level amongst developed economies.
The 2009 global financial crisis, and this year's earthquake and tsunami have increased the pressure on its finances.
