FREDERICTON (GNB) – Standard and Poor’s, a global credit rating agency, has reaffirmed New Brunswick’s A+ credit rating with a stable outlook.
“We are pleased that Standard and Poor’s has reaffirmed our credit rating and maintained the current outlook, and we will remain steadfast in maintaining a good fiscal position,” said Finance and Treasury Board Minister René Legacy. “Our stronger liquidity position bolsters our credit profile relative to other provinces, and we will continue to manage the province’s finances responsibly, while making the investments we need.”
The agency’s comments reflect that the government intends to introduce measures to improve budgetary performance over the next two years, following years of increased population growth that resulted in additional spending pressures on services and infrastructure.
