Fitch Ratings-New York-30 July 2024: Fitch Ratings has published a new dataset covering issuers rated using our recently launched U.S. Local Government Rating Model.
The file provides the current Issuer Default Rating and Rating Outlook along with detailed model data supporting the rating. This information includes headroom, model data inputs, assessments, and metric outputs associated with key rating drivers. It also provides any Additional Analytical Factors incorporated into the rating that were not captured in the model’s Metric Profile.
Comprehensive overviews of the rated portfolio are available on the table tabs. Users can also easily focus in on a specific issuer by using the Ratings Analysis Snapshot option.
Fitch will update the file periodically with current data as more issuers are reviewed using the model. The file is available on Fitch’s websites or by clicking on this link: U.S. Local Government Data Comparator. Please bookmark this link for easy access to the most recent version.
The dataset should be read in conjunction with Fitch’s U.S. Public Finance Local Government Rating Criteria.
