John Chambers, who heads the sovereign ratings committee of Standard & Poor’s, has warned that Australia’s "AAA" credit rating may be at risk. He has expressed concern about the nation’s rising net foreign debt, noting that it is among the worst of the 130 sovereign nations that the firm rates. S&P downgraded Australia’s credit rating outlook to "negative" in July 2016. Rival rating agencies have also previously expressed concern about Australia’s fiscal position.
