On Friday, April 24, 2015, the credit-rating agency, Standard & Poor’s (S&P), downgraded Puerto Rico’s general-obligation bonds further into "junk" level territory from a B rating down to a CCC+ grade, making it even more difficult for the financially distressed island to borrow money and dig out from its severe financial problems. This grading means S&P grades the Puerto Rican debt four notches above the lowest possible grade of "default."
S&P said in a statement, “We base the downgrade of Puerto Rico's tax-supported debt on our view that the commonwealth's market access prospects have further weakened and Puerto Rico's ability to meet its financial commitments is increasingly tied to the business, financial, and economic conditions on the island. Absent improvement in those conditions, we believe debt and other financial commitments will be unsustainable."
