Fitch: In 2017 U. S. Public Finance Faces Political Uncertainty, Supported by Economic Growth
The 2017 sector outlook for seven of the eight sectors in the U. S. public finance space is stable, with U. S. not-for-profit hospitals and healthcare systems sector maintaining a negative outlook for 2017.
"The upcoming transition of the federal administration holds potentially significant implications for many sectors across public finance," said Jessalynn Moro, Managing Director of the U. S. Public Finance Group. "The transition creates an unpredictable environment for U. S. states and local governments, which are particularly exposed to policies affecting trade, jointly funded programs and fiscal stimulus."
Given the transition of the federal administration, the uncertain future of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency creates an unpredictable operating environment for public power and water and sewer.
Fitch will host a series of teleconferences on its outlooks:
