                        France, US sovereign ratings: fiscal and governance challenges drive weakening credit profiles
Webinar: Wednesday, November 5th 2025 - 3:00 PM (CET)
                        Webinar
Scope Ratings has downgraded the US to AA-/Stable and changed the Outlook on France’s AA- rating to Negative. This narrow rating gap between the two sovereigns contrasts with the view of most market participants.
Join us for a discussion with Scope’s lead analysts to explore why fiscal and governance concerns are weighing down on the two credit ratings and the degree to which these concerns are still partially offset by the dollar’s reserve-currency status for the US and the institutional euro area framework for France.
