NEW YORK, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Moody's Investors Service said on Thursday it is awaiting the release of Ireland's four-year fiscal plan this month to decide whether to downgrade the country's credit rating.
"We intend to conclude this review in the course of December," a Moody's spokesman told Reuters.
The ratings agency put Ireland's Aa2 ratings on review for a possible downgrade on Oct. 5, citing the impact of additional bank recapitalization needs, increased uncertainty regarding the economic outlook and elevated borrowing costs. (Reporting by Walter Brandimarte; Editing by James Dalgleish)
