S&P Global announced Friday that it is maintaining its “AA+” credit rating for the United States, citing the country’s economic resilience as a key factor in supporting strong government revenue collection.
In a statement, the agency said, “Broad revenue buoyancy, including solid tariff income, should help mitigate the risk of fiscal slippage.”
S&P Global holds a notable place in financial history as the first ratings agency to strip the U.S. government of its top-tier credit rating back in 2011. Despite that downgrade years ago, the agency said Friday that the current outlook for the U.S. rating is stable.
The agency added that its stable outlook reflects confidence in the diversity and strength of the U.S. economy, even as both domestic and international policy landscapes continue to shift.
