Debt Management

Credit Ratings

Debt Management

Credit Ratings

Municipal credit ratings are opinions of the investment quality of issuers and issues in the markets. The municipal bond market has slightly different rating criteria from the corporate debt market owing to the unique characteristics inherent in public debt. Municipal debt ratings are viewed in relation to the general state of the agency, local, regional, state and national economy, debt levels and mix, revenue and expense cash flows, and the issuer’s management strategies.

Credit rating agencies provide an independent appraisal of the credit quality and likelihood of timely repayment of a bond issue. Investors rely upon the credit quality judgment made by the credit rating agencies, expressed as a credit rating. While a credit rating is an important factor in determining the interest rate on bonds relative to other issues sold at the same time, bonds are not legally required to be rated.
