KBRA Releases Report Assigning AAA, Stable Outlook to State of Wisconsin G.O. Floating Rate Notes

On June 16, 2022, KBRA assigned a long-term rating of AAA with a Stable Outlook to the State of Wisconsin’s (the State’s) General Obligation (G.O.) Floating Rate Notes (FRNs) of 2022, Series A (SIFMA-Based Interest Rate). Concurrently, KBRA affirmed the long-term AAA rating with a Stable Outlook on $7.0 billion of outstanding General Obligation (G.O.) bonds; the short-term K1+ rating on the G.O. Commercial Paper (CP) Program and G.O. Extendible Municipal Commercial Paper (EMCP) Program; and the long-term AA+ rating with a Stable Outlook on outstanding Master Lease Certificates of Participation (COPs). The long-term COPs rating is derived from the State’s long-term G.O. rating and an evaluation of factors discussed in KBRA’s U.S. State Annual Appropriation Obligation Rating Methodology.
