This is a list of countries by credit rating, showing long-term foreign currency credit ratings for sovereign bonds as reported by credit rating agency Standard & Poor's.
The United States was downgraded by Standard & Poor's last week but not by the other two main global rating agencies Moodys (Aaa) and Fitch (AAA).
For S&P, a bond is considered investment grade if its credit rating is BBB- or higher. Bonds rated BB+ and below are considered to be speculative grade, sometimes also referred to as "junk" bonds.
