Fitch raises China major state banks ratings BEIJING, April 8 (Reuters) - Global ratings agency Fitch revised outlooks for China's five major state banks and China Merchants Bank 600036.SS to stable from negative on Tuesday, despite the downgrade of China's sovereign rating last week.
The Chinese government still retains financial flexibility to support the sector including the six banks, even during higher deficits and rising debt, Fitch said.
