Fitch Ratings affirmed the United States’ long-term foreign and local currency issuer default ratings and Treasury security rating at AAA.
It simultaneously affirmed the nation’s ceiling at AAA and the short-term foreign currency rating at F1-plus.
The outlook on the long-term ratings is stable.
The affirmation of the sovereign rating reflects the fact that the key pillars of the United States’ exceptional creditworthiness remains intact — its pivotal role in the global financial system and the flexible, diversified and wealthy economy that provides its revenue base.
Monetary and exchange-rate flexibility further enhances the capacity of the economy to absorb and adjust to shocks.
