Moody's Cuts America's Pristine Credit Rating, Citing Rising Debt
May 18, 2025
|Hindustan Times Patna
Moody's downgraded the US sovereign credit rating on Friday due to concerns about the nation's growing, $36 trillion debt pile, in a move that could complicate President Donald Trump's efforts to cut taxes and send ripples through global markets.
NEW YORK:
Moody's first gave the United States its pristine "Aaa" rating in 1919 and is the last of the three major credit agencies to downgrade it.
Friday's cut by one notch to "Aal" follows a change in 2023 in the agency's outlook on the sovereign due to wider fiscal deficits and higher interest payments.
"Successive US administrations and Congress have failed to agree on measures to reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs," Moody's said on Friday, as it changed its outlook on the US to "stable" from "negative."
