Prince George’s County received confirmation of its strong financial standing following the latest updates from major credit rating agencies. 
The County has once again earned AAA ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings, the highest possible designation, reflecting its sound fiscal management, strong reserves, and long-term financial planning. In addition, Moody’s Investors Service assigned the County a Aa1 rating, a slight downgrade consistent with similar adjustments Moody’s has assigned other jurisdictions across the region. Despite this change, Prince George’s County remains among the top-rated jurisdictions nationwide.
“These ratings show that our fiscal house is not only in order, but built for the future,” said Acting County Executive Tara Jackson. “We’ve taken deliberate steps to strengthen our reserves, invest in our communities, and build a foundation of financial resilience that supports long-term growth.”
“Credit ratings like these reflect a deep commitment to disciplined budgeting and strategic decision-making,” said Stephen McGibbon, Director of Finance. “Our team has worked diligently to safeguard the County’s financial health by maintaining strong cash reserves, managing debt responsibly, and aligning our investments with long-term community needs. These ratings validate that approach and position us well for the future.”
