Another of the major credit rating agencies is taking notice of the Nova Scotia government’s finances. Finance Minister John Lohr said he pays close attention to what the credit rating agencies have to say but he’s also confident in his government’s plan and opportunities for the future. “I am confident that this province will prosper economically,” he told reporters. The report from DBRS follows a credit rating downgrade for the province earlier this month by ratings agency S&P. Lohr said the risk of another downgrade would be an increase to the cost of borrowing.
