Municipal credit in 2026 is shaping up less like a single narrative and more like a series of stress tests for infrastructure, policy, and budgetary resilience. In our 2026 Municipal Credit Sector Outlook, we focus on a simple question: not whether disruption will occur, but which sectors and related issuers are built to absorb it. Severe weather, cyber events, and federal brinkmanship are no longer tail risks. They are recurring features of the landscape. The full PDF includes our sector-by-sector credit views and issuance expectations relative to 2025, available for download above.
