By DANNY LOPEZ
State Representative
I’m proud to share that Indiana continues to earn national recognition for its financial well-being after maintaining its AAA credit rating – the highest possible rating – for the 16th consecutive year. This recognition highlights our state’s strong economic management and fiscal responsibility.
Indiana’s AAA rating means lower borrowing costs for projects like roads and schools, and it makes our state an attractive environment for new business investments. These low borrowing rates also allow us to keep taxes low and put more money back into the pockets of hardworking Hoosiers across the state.
All three major credit agencies – S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings – affirmed Indiana’s AAA status. These agencies specifically noted Indiana’s responsible budgeting, low debt and healthy reserves, which give us a strong foundation for continued economic growth.

Indiana has held AAA ratings from all three agencies since 2010, and we remain one of only 14 states to hold the top rating from all three agencies.
By continuing to prioritize fiscal responsibility, Indiana can keep taxes low, support job growth and ensure stability for Hoosier families and businesses.
As your state representative, I’m committed to protecting Indiana’s AAA credit rating by supporting policies that maintain our balanced budget and protect Hoosier taxpayers.
