We are affirming our 'AA+' long-term issuer credit and senior unsecured debt ratings on the City of Regina. In part, the ratings reflect our view of the city's very strong credit fundamentals that are anchored by exceptional liquidity, a track record of very strong budgetary performance characterized by high operating surpluses, and a very strong economy that is stabilized by a significant public sector base.
