S&P Global Ratings revised the outlook on Wellington City Council’s credit rating to stable, moving up from a previous negative outlook. The agency affirmed the 'AA-' long-term and 'A-1+' short-term issuer credit ratings on the council. The stable outlook reflects S&P Global Ratings' view that Wellington City will manage its high debt through tight expense control and strong liquidity management over the next two years.
