The Oakville Beaver, Friday March 12, 2004 - 13 Halton Region's credit rating is AAA-1 Moody's Investors Service has announced Halton Region has received a AAA credit rating for 2004. It's the highest credit rating available to any issuer of long-term debt in North America. Achieving and retaining a AAA credit rating has allowed the Region, the City of Burlington and towns of Halton Hills, Milton and Oakville to borrow funds at the lowest possible interest rates. "Our AAA credit rating confirms Halton Region's sound financial posi tion," said Halton Chair Joyce Savoline. "Thanks to our responsible fiscal policies and" Halton's strong economy, Halton Region is poised to successfully manage future challenges and maintain our economic stability, while ensuring the health and safety of Halton residents." Moody's reported that Halton con tinues to record positive results and has done so despite significant pres sures on both its operating and capital budgets. It also expects the Region will maintain its strong financial position given regional council's prudent man agement of spending and debt, and Halton's strong economy.
