Fitch affirms US credit rating at AA+ with stable outlook
The US credit rating has been affirmed at AA+ due to the size of the US economy and exceptional financing flexibility.
The growth forecast has been downgraded to 1.9% in 2026 and 2027, from 2.8% in 2025, amid a weakening labor market.
The stable outlook is supported by high per capita income and a dynamic business environment, despite warnings of potential gridlock and government shutdowns.
