Finanzpolitik: Fitch bestätigt Bonitätsnote der USA mit „AA+“
Die Ratingagentur behält die Note bei, da sich die Wirtschaft robust zeigt. Im Jahr 2023 hatte Fitch die Bonität der weltgrößten Volkswirtschaft um eine Stufe von der Bestnote „AAA“ herabgestuft.
Fitch has reaffirmed the United States' credit rating at "AA+" with a stable outlook, citing the country's large economy, high per capita income, and the dollar's status as the world's primary currency. Despite challenges such as higher tariffs, government spending cuts, and political uncertainty, the US economy has remained robust.
However, Fitch anticipates a slowdown in economic growth to 1.9% in 2026 and 2027, with inflation expected to remain a concern, as the agency projects an average inflation rate of 3.4% for 2026, above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. The report also highlights that the federal deficit is projected to rise to 7.4% of GDP in 2026 and stay at that level in 2027, the highest among all countries rated "AA".
