THUNDER BAY – “The Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce is pleased to see this positive indicator of the City’s financial performance. We congratulate City Council and Administration for their efforts to improve the credit rating,” says Charla Robinson, Chamber President. The Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce is congratulating Thunder Bay City Council and Administration on the upgrade of the City’s credit rating from A+ to AA-.
The Standard & Poor’s report points to the City’s robust liquidity, healthy budgetary performance and moderate debt. However, the report also indicates that Thunder Bay’s limited ability to cut expenditures somewhat constrains its budgetary flexibility.
