(Idaho Treasurer’s Office Press Release, August 10, 2023)
BOISE – Idaho’s voice was heard!
On May 18, 2022, Idaho leaders sent a letter to S&P objecting to the use of ESG credit indicators as part of its credit ratings for states and state subdivisions. On August 4, 2023, S&P Global Ratings announced that effective immediately, they are no longer publishing new ESG credit indicators.
I hope you have time to review the original letter and the S&P Ratings Update that are included below.
This is a great success for Idaho and I appreciate all of those who work so hard to ensure Idaho’s fiscal well-being.
Sincerely,
Julie A. Ellsworth
Idaho State Treasurer
