S&P Global affirmed the U.S. credit rating at AA+.
The agency noted the resilience of the American economy, which supports stable tax revenue collection.
On Friday, June 26, 2026, S&P Global published its decision to maintain the previous assessment.
The forecast for U.S. GDP growth from 2026 to 2029 is about 2% per year.
Despite increased political polarization, strong institutions and the system of checks and balances continue to shape policy outcomes.
Broad revenue growth, including tariff receipts, should reduce risks of fiscal deviations, the agency stressed.
In the first quarter, the U.S. economy grew faster than expected: GDP rose by 2,1% on an annualized basis after data revisions.
Analysts had previously forecast growth of 1,6%.
S&P was the first rating agency to downgrade the U.S. sovereign rating in 2011.
The rating outlook remains stable.
Investments in artificial intelligence remain an important factor, although the long-term effect on productivity is still unclear.
What lies behind such resilience of the American economy amid changing policies?
