Mississauga gets 'AAA' for effort
MISSISSAUGA BUSINESS TIMES

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'AAA' credit rating on the City of Mississauga for the third straight year, based on the City's exceptional liquidity levels, debt-free position, and strategically located economy.
According to S&P, "Mississauga's debt-free tradition continued into 2005; placing the City ahead of its domestic and international peers with respect to debt burden. This was largely made possible through the City's large cash and investment holdings, allowing it to finance its capital programs on a pay-as-you-go basis." "This rating further enhances the City's profile in the financial sector," said City manager Janice Baker. "We have been successful at keeping tax increases to a minimum for many years and we are fortunate to be debt-free."
Outside the U.S., Mississauga is only the 9th municipality to earn the coveted 'AAA' rating. The stable outlook reflects the continuation of a strong and stable economy, and is based on the prospect that there will be no deterioration in operating balances.
