NEW YORK (Reuters) - While U.S. states’ financial health has strengthened in 2018 compared with last year, fewer than half have enough financial reserves to weather the first year of a moderate recession, according to an S&P Global Ratings report on Monday. Only 20 states have the reserves needed to operate for the first year of an economic downturn without having to slash budgets or raise taxes, S&P said. “In their fight against recessions, budget reserves are what states send to the frontline,” the report said. “They are an internal source of immediate liquidity and can provide transitional funding to agencies before budget cuts take effect.”.

There are 15 states at risk of large revenue shortfalls in the first year of a recession, 21 states with moderate shortfall risks and 14 states expected to have low shortfalls. In the case of a moderate recession, states could see general fund shortfalls between 9.9 percent and 11.8 percent year over year, compared with 8.1 percent from 2008 to 2009, S&P said. Still, state financial health has strengthened in the current year compared with last year, and the likelihood of an economic downturn starting in the next 12 months is a mere 10 percent to 15 percent, S&P said.
