Moody?s: US debt situation will affect credit rating
No comments ? | ? Printer Friendly
WASHINGTON ? Moody?s Investor Service said the the outcome of the debt situation in the U.S. directly affects its credit rating, in an announcement published last Thursday.
Specifically, Moody?s said that ?further fiscal policy actions in coming months would be needed to ensure a decline in the debt ratios.? In addition, they said that ?any rating action in coming months will be predicated on the expected debt trajectory, which in turn will result from fiscal policy and the expected path of economic growth.?
If the U.S. did not see significant GDP growth, its debt-to-GDP ratio will suffer and could lead to a bad credit rating, the first in decades.
The U.S. credit rating was downgraded by Standard and Poors (S&P) from a AAA rating to the AA-plus, to which Obama and his government agencies cried as foul play and subsequently sued S&P.
Other agencies like Moody?s and Fitch have the U.S. at a AAA rating, but mention that if the U.S. does not get its act together, it will be downgraded.
Now it is time for the House and Senate to reach a deal to save the country?s credit rating, or the U.S. could become another Greece very soon.
