What moved on the register

Northern Ireland's borrowing lean stands out — 1.8x its usual share of today's re-ratings, with wholesale and food & beverage service also pulling ahead on the credit side, together suggesting a working-capital or expansion push rather than distress. Exit-leaning signals were milder, with accommodation and consultancy the only sectors showing any lift (1.4-1.5x) among a noticeably smaller pool than the day before. Worth flagging: today's activity is heavily concentrated in a single day's filings, so treat this as a first read rather than a settled pattern.
