Credit Impact From Budget Is Small - Fitch
CANADA
- Fitch Ratings write that the "small increase to Canada’s deficit resulting from the latest Federal budget will have a minimal impact on the country’s credit profile."
- The general government deficit is still expected to decline and the debt burden is still forecast to fall by around 2ppts through fiscal years 2026 and 2027, Fitch Ratings says.
- "Canada’s general government debt burden is one of the highest among ‘AA’-rated sovereigns. Out of 18 ‘AA’-rated sovereigns, only three – the United States (AA+/Stable), France (AA-/Stable) and Belgium (AA-/Negative) – have higher debt-to-GDP ratios."
