Fitch slashes U.S. credit ratings, points to ‘erosion’ of governance
Fitch Ratings cut its top U.S. credit rating to AA+ from AAA on Tuesday, pointing to “erosion” of governance and the nation’s expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years.
“In Fitch’s view, there has been a steady deterioration in standards of governance over the last 20 years, including on fiscal and debt matters, notwithstanding the June bipartisan agreement to suspend the debt limit until January 2025,” Fitch said. Fitch warned in May that it might cut the U.S.’s AAA ratings as the latest debt-ceiling fight was dragging on for months without a resolution.
