Credit rating agency S&P Global Ratings on Tuesday affirmed Australia's sovereign credit ratings at 'AAA/A-1+' with a negative outlook, flagging economic and fiscal risks.
"The negative outlook reflects our view that Australia faces fiscal and economic risks that are tilted toward the downside", S&P said in a note https://bit.ly/34eqmGV on Tuesday, adding Australia's fiscal deficits will persist and debt levels will be elevated for years to come.
However, it also said a large economic stimulus will support the country's economic recovery amid the coronavirus crisis.
