No credit rating upgrade

Journalists around the country seem to think (even the learned ones) that the budget has brought about a credit ratings upgrade. Not true.

There has merely been a stabilisation of our current credit rating. An upgrade of Standard and Poor’s rating would be shifting from AA+ to AAA. That hasn’t happened.

The government’s spin has won over on this one. Stabilisation is not an Upgrade.
