S&P Global Ratings affirmed the United States’ long-term sovereign credit rating at ‘AA+’ with a stable outlook. The agency cited the country’s diversified, resilient economy, solid growth projections of around 2% through 2029, and the unique status of the dollar.
Key drivers behind the rating include:
- Revenue Buoyancy: Solid tax and tariff income are expected to help offset fiscal deficits.
- Stable Outlook: The stable view reflects expected continued economic expansion and credible monetary policy.
- Growth Anchors: Robust AI investments are expected to remain a key pillar of economic investment, supported by an upwardly revised 2.1% annualized first-quarter GDP rate.
- Credit Weaknesses: The rating remains constrained by persistently high general government debt and political polarization, though expectations remain that Congress will manage the debt ceiling and avoid a default.
