State Representative Jack Jordan (R-Bremen) announced that Fitch Ratings, a major national credit rating agency, has once again awarded Indiana a AAA credit rating for the 17th consecutive year.
The AAA designation is the highest credit rating possible. According to state officials, the rating underscores Indiana’s ongoing leadership in disciplined fiscal management, economic resilience, and long-term financial stability.
Indiana has maintained this top-tier rating for nearly two decades, a streak attributed to the state's unwavering commitment to fiscal responsibility, consistently balanced budgets, and robust financial reserves.
For Indiana taxpayers, maintaining a high credit rating carries significant practical benefits. It allows the state to borrow money at lower interest rates when funding major infrastructure projects and other critical investments. This favorable borrowing power ensures that tax dollars go further, ultimately saving Hoosiers money.
“A triple-A rating also signals financial stability to businesses and investors, helping attract economic development, jobs, and long-term investment to Indiana,” Representative Jordan stated.
He added, “We've continued to pass balanced budgets and advance policies in Indiana that make government more efficient, protect taxpayers, and expand opportunity for Hoosiers.”
With this latest announcement, Indiana remains among a select group of U.S. states to hold the highest possible credit ratings from all major rating agencies.
