Fitch maintains Holland's AAA rating

• Fitch has kept its ratings for Holland at AAA, citing the country's "strong underlying economic, institutional and credit fundamentals.”
• The Netherlands' "consistent current account surpluses and positive net international investment position, as well as its strong financing flexibility," were also factors in Fitch's decision.
• However, the Netherlands' weak growth prospects led the ratings agency to maintain the Dutch outlook at negative.
• Fitch's note comes after S&P stripped Holland of its AAA rating in December. (PR)
