Fifty-nine classes from 13 Countrywide residential mortgage-backed securities deals issued in 2005 and 2006 have been downgraded by Fitch Ratings.Fitch also affirmed the ratings on 32 classes from the CWALT transactions. The downgrades were attributed to a deterioration in the relationship between credit enhancement and loss expectations. The collateral for the transactions consists primarily of 30- and 15-year fixed-rate mortgage loans to alternative-A borrowers. Fitch can be found on the Web at http://www.fitchratings.com.
