A long-term rating is a credit rating assigned by agencies such as Standard & Poor's, Moody's, or Fitch that evaluates the creditworthiness of a borrower over an extended period, typically more than one year. These ratings assess the likelihood that a borrower, such as a corporation or government, will meet its financial obligations in the long term. A higher long-term rating indicates a lower risk of default, while a lower rating suggests higher risk.
