Moody's Credit Ratings lowered the US credit rating one notch to Aa1 from Aaa, amid concerns over rising debt and interest payments. Moody's followed Fitch Ratings in downgrading the nation to AA+ from AAA in 2023 and Standard & Poor's in 2011. The agency said it expects federal debt to increase to around 134% of GDP by 2035, up from 98% last year. Meanwhile, the federal deficit is expected to widen, reaching nearly 9% of GDP by 2035, up from 6.4% in 2024, due to rising interest payments on debt, advancing entitlement spending, and reduced government revenue through tax cuts. Moody's made this announcement on Friday, changing its outlook on the US to stable from negative. Standard & Poor's credit rating for the US stands at AA+ with a stable outlook. DBRS' credit rating for the United States was last reported at AAA with a stable outlook.
