Here are the countries that still have Triple-A credit ratings across the board

(This story was updated to also include Singapore as an issuer with Triple-A ratings.)

It’s truly an elite — and virtually all European — group of sovereign issuers that have pristine Triple-A credit ratings.

The decision by Fitch Ratings to lower the U.S. credit rating didn’t actually alter that list, since S&P beat its rival agency to the punch in downgrading America’s debt by more than a decade. But the move puts into focus just how rare it is for a country to enjoy the highest rating across all three major agencies.
