So says S&P Global Rat- ings (S&P), which after completing its annual re- view maintained its high- est rating of AAA for the re- gion. The rating and annual review attributed a stable outlook for Halton, indicat- ing confidence in its ability to uphold this standing in- to the future, despite nega- tive impacts from CO- VID-19. "This top credit rating will allow us to support on- going investments in infra- structure while ensuring top value for taxpayer dol- lars," said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr. "These investments are part of the essential re- gional programs that keep Halton a great place to live." By upholding this top credit rating, Halton and its local municipalities have continued access to the best capital financing rates available. This minimizes long- term infrastructure capital financing costs, allowing public funds to go further when invested in regional works that help improve essential services in the community, such as road, water and wastewater pro- jects. S&P's analysis included the following strengths in support of the AAA rating: • steady population growth, high income lev- els, and a broad economy foster stability in the Re- gion's property tax base de- spite the negative impact from the COVID-19 pan- demic; • strong provincial and federal emergency support to cover the pandemic's fi- nancial impact; • prudent financial man- agement practices, robust long range planning guid- ed by detailed asset man- agement plans and diverse economic base; • solid budgetary perfor- mance and limiting debt is- suance; and • exceptional liquidity position and satisfactory access to external liquidity for financing needs. Halton has maintained top credit ratings from S&P Global Ratings (AAA) since 2002 and Moody's In- vestors Service (AAA) since 1989. To learn more about re- gional finances, visit hal- ton.ca.
