Why don't Government Bonds have a credit rating like Corporate Bonds? 🤔
Because the government is the issuer of our currency.
Corporate bonds need credit ratings because companies can run out of money and default.
But Government Bonds are backed by the government's ability to collect taxes and, for sovereign debt issued in its own currency, repay obligations.
That doesn't mean they're risk-free.
✅ Interest rate risk exists.
✅ Inflation can reduce your real returns.
✅ Long-term bond prices can fluctuate.
Credit risk is generally considered negligible for sovereign government bonds issued in their own currency.
That's why you'll rarely see domestic Government Bonds marketed based on a credit rating, unlike corporate bonds.
