Maintaining Highest Quality Credit Rating
May 09, 2019 • “The affirmation of the Aaa ratings is based
on positive operating outcomes which are supported by reliable revenues and a large, diverse economic base.”
• “The ratings also reflect the city's high levels of liquidity.”
• “The stable outlook reflects Moody’s assumption of continued strong fiscal performance over the next 18-24 months from predictable sources of income, and continued excellent levels of liquidity and strong debt affordability.”
February 07, 2019 • “Continuity of sound management under new
government and steady, but milder, economic growth will support creditworthiness.…”
• “The stable outlook reflects our assumption that a solid economy and comprehensive fiscal planning will facilitate operating and after-capital fiscal surpluses over the next two year.”
• “We believe that Vancouver's detailed long-term financial planning, as well as its experienced financial management team, will provide a solid fiscal policy anchor as the city's new government looks to implement its policy agenda.”
