The US economy is only experiencing slow growth, but is progressing at a quicker rate than some of its AAA peers.
美国经济只是正在经历缓慢的增长,但与同样是AAA评级的国家来说,它发展的速度更快。
"We think that they will raise the debt ceiling, as they always have in the past. But even if there's some delay, we're not too concerned about that affecting the government's ability to service its debt," said Steven Hess, Moody's lead US sovereign credit analyst.
“我们认为他们将提高债务上限,因为他们过去总是如此。但即使有些延迟,我们并不是很担心这会影响政府偿还债务的能力,”穆迪美国信用评级主导分析师说。
Analysts believe the news could mean the US's sovereign rating may be safer now for years to come.
分析师们相信这个新闻意味着目前来说美国信用评级在接下来的几年可能更加安全。
