KBRA Releases Research – Coronavirus (COVID-19): State Revenue Losses Less Than Feared

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) releases a report which compares the actual performance of state revenues to the projections that were prevalent at the outset of the pandemic. Actual projections were much better than those originally projected.

At the outset of the pandemic, economic conditions were forecast to deteriorate more significantly than what transpired through the remainder of 2020. However, better-than-expected performance on revenues does not alleviate the myriad budgetary pressures that are still present and conservative budgetary practices remain critical in the uncertain environment that remains.
