Brexit could lead to downgrades for other EU countries: Fitch
Ireland, Malta, Belgium, the Netherlands, Cyprus and Luxembourg exposed for their exports to UK

The ratings agency has already said that it will review Britain's rating, currently "AA+" with a stable outlook, if the "out" campaign wins June 23's referendum - something that it stressed was not its "base case" scenario.
