Australia sovereign credit rating status

Overview

S&P Global reaffirmed Australia’s triple-A sovereign credit rating, citing a strengthened federal budget driven by tax reforms and spending cuts. These measures, including changes to property investor taxes and capital gains, are projected to raise significant revenue and provide long-term savings.

While the agency noted a widening deficit and projected net debt, it maintained that Australia’s debt levels remain modest and fiscal metrics are solid. However, S&P warned that high interest rates could lead to contracting consumer spending and slower economic growth in the 2026/27 financial year.
