FITCH cut its credit rating on heavily indebted Japan by one notch on Monday, saying it has not done enough to plug a budget gap left by its decision to delay a sales tax rise.
The move saw Japan's rating trimmed to "A" from "A+", several months after rival credit agency Moody's also downgraded Japan's credit rating.
