标普重申北卡罗来纳州AAA级债券评级
北卡罗来纳州韦克县罗利市消息：北卡罗来纳州财政部长布拉德·布莱纳10月30日在罗利宣布，标普全球评级重申该州未偿一般责任债券AAA评级。标普同时确认该州拨款债务评级为AA+。
州财政部在公告中引述标普的判断，称北卡信用状况反映了该州明确的财政管理政策、维持两年期平衡预算的承诺、非常强劲的储备、较低至中等的债务负担以及资金充足的养老金计划。州与地方政府财政司负责州债务的发行、监测与报告工作。
AAA是标普给予的最高信用评级，意味着评级机构认为该州偿债能力极强、违约风险极低。这一评级有助于北卡在发行债券时获得更低的融资成本，从而节省纳税人的资金。北卡长期以来以财政稳健著称，两年期平衡预算的要求是其财政纪律的重要体现。
