Moody’s Downgrades US Credit Rating on Debt—Is America’s Financial Power Crumbling?

On Friday, Moody’s downgraded the US credit ratings from Aaa to Aa1. This is the first time the United States has lost its top-tier rating from the last major agency still backing it. The downgrade came with a revised outlook—now marked “stable” instead of “negative.”

But the world noticed. And India should too.

What does this mean for the common man?

At first glance, it may seem like a Wall Street problem. But it affects everyone—from students taking dollar loans to companies trading in USD. A weaker credit rating means higher borrowing costs for the US government. That ripple can shake global markets, push up interest rates, and pull money out of emerging economies like India.

So yes, this could make your next iPhone more expensive.

Why did Moody’s downgrade the US?

The agency cited persistent fiscal deficits and ballooning debt. In simple terms, the US government has been spending far more than it earns—and borrowing without brakes. In 2024, debt hit 98% of GDP. By 2035, it could soar to 134%, says Moody’s. Even worse, interest payments alone could eat up 30% of the federal budget.

That’s like spending a third of your salary just to pay credit card interest.

Another red flag? Political deadlock. The US Congress has failed to agree on serious reforms—like reversing the Trump-era tax cuts—which could add $4 trillion to the deficit over the next decade.

But didn’t inflation just fall in the US?
Yes, the April CPI showed a slight ease. But it wasn’t enough. Moody’s is more worried about long-term debt and policy flip-flops than short-term price drops.

What does this mean for India?

It’s a wake-up call—and an opportunity.

For years, America’s AAA credit rating gave it an unmatched edge in global finance. But now, the cracks are showing. India, in contrast, has stayed fiscally cautious—even during COVID. We’ve grown our economy, kept inflation under check, and expanded digital infrastructure without blowing the budget.

This downgrade could make investors look beyond the US. And India—stable, growing, and reform-ready—could be the next big bet.
