socgen3_PA_230x150 — Moody's ratings agency said Wednesday Sept. 14, 2011, it had downgraded by one notch top French banks Societe Generale and Credit Agricole while leaving BNP Paribas on negative watch. Credit Agricole's rating slid from Aa1 to Aa2 while Societe Generale was cut from Aa2 to Aa3. Shares in all three banks have plummeted in recent weeks on exposure to Greek sovereign debt and turbulence caused by the eurozone debt crisis.
