Press Release

New York, May 22, 2018 -- Moody's Investors Service has upgraded the City of Detroit, MI's issuer rating to Ba3 from B1. Concurrently, Moody's has revised the outlook to stable from positive in light of the upgrade. This issuer rating is equivalent to the general obligation unlimited tax (GOULT) rating we would assign to GOULT debt of the issuer, but does not apply to any of the city's $1.9 billion of debt outstanding.
