Indiana has preserved its AAA credit rating for the 16th consecutive year, a distinction awarded by all three major credit agencies — S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service, and Fitch Ratings. This top-tier evaluation reflects the state’s prudent financial management, low debt levels, and strong reserve funds, reinforcing Indiana’s reputation for economic reliability.
The continued high rating translates into tangible benefits: reduced borrowing costs for public infrastructure such as roads and schools, and a more appealing climate for business investment. These savings also support lower tax rates, allowing more income to remain with working families across the state. Since 2010, Indiana has consistently held the highest rating from each agency and remains one of only 14 states to achieve this triple-A status across the board.
State Representative Danny Lopez credited the achievement to sustained fiscal discipline and responsible budgeting. He emphasized that maintaining this standard requires ongoing commitment to balanced budgets and policies that protect taxpayers. ‘By prioritizing financial prudence, we ensure long-term stability for Hoosier households and enterprises,’ Lopez said. As a member of the General Assembly representing District 39, he affirmed his dedication to upholding the policies that sustain Indiana’s economic strength.
