(Reuters) – Global credit rating agency S&P Global Ratings on Thursday affirmed the United States’ sovereign credit ratings at ‘AA+/A-1+’ with a stable rating outlook, amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.
The U.S. government’s debt and fiscal deficits are likely to worsen this year after the “economic shock” caused by the pandemic, S&P said.
Last week, Fitch had affirmed its United States rating.
