 Moody's revises outlook for US states to Stable from
Negative – Moody's Investors Service has revised its outlook for
US states to Stable from Negative, marking a significant
improvement in its assessment of state finances after cutting its
outlook for the sector more than five years ago. The ratings
agency said the uncertainty surrounding federal budget cuts has
diminished, revenue growth for many states has exceeded
expectations, and budget reserves are continuing to grow. The
ratings agency said federal deficit reduction, especially cutbacks
in government employment and procurement, could create an
economic drag, while employment remains below its pre-
recession peak. The agency further added that pension
contributions will continue to squeeze budgets and the regional
divide in economic growth across the US is delaying full fiscal
recovery in some states. (Reuters)

policies and financial regulations, maintain financial stability and
reduce systemic risks. (Reuters)

slow down further. S&P stated that India's long-term growth
prospects could weaken on a sustained basis, with negative
implications for the sovereign credit fundamentals. (Reuters)
