S&P Global affirmed its 'AA+' credit rating for the United States on Friday, citing the economy's resilience and solid fiscal revenue collection. The ratings agency expects the US economy to grow at around 2% from 2026 to 2029, and said strong institutions and checks and balances will continue to anchor policy outcomes despite heightened political polarization. Broad revenue buoyancy, including solid tariff income, should help mitigate the risk of fiscal slippage, S&P noted. The outlook on the US rating remains stable, incorporating the strength of the economy despite changes in domestic and international policies. Robust AI investment is expected to remain a key pillar of overall investment, though longer-term productivity gains from AI remain uncertain at this stage.
