Wholesale funding contributes to Moody's BOQ downgrade review [UPDATED]

Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) placed its A2 rating on Bank of Queensland (BOQ) on review for downgrade on October 20, citing the bank's degree of reliance on wholesale funding – especially in short-term markets – as one of two key reasons for the review. BOQ is already rated BBB+ by both the other two main rating agencies.
