Italy got a stable credit outlook assessment from Moody's Monday but the ratings agency said the economy must start growing again to bring down its debt-to-GDP ratio.
Moody's rates Italy's debt Aa2, two marks below Germany's Aaa.
At just below 106 percent in 2008, Italy's debt-to-GDP ratio is the highest in the euro zone and the third biggest in the world after the United States and Japan.
