In June 2014, Standard and Poor’s (S&amp;P) revised the outlook on their UK AAA rating from negative to stable. The key driver cited by S&amp;P was <em>‘Amid further progress in consolidating public fiannces, the UK’s economic recovery is broadening.’ </em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>S&amp;P have assigned the UK sovereign the top triple AAA rating since they first published a UK rating in 1978. Moody’s and Fitch have assigned the UK the second highest rating Aa1 and AA+ respectively, with a stable outlook. The Government remains committed to its long term economic plan to ensure that the UK’s strong credit rating is maintained.</p><p> </p> more like this
