MOODY'S ASSIGNS Aa1 LONG-TERM & MIG 1 SHORT-TERM RATINGS TO THE BOROUGH
July 19, 2023--Borough of Haddonfield Commissioner Kevin Roche, Commissioner of Revenue and Finance, announces Moody's Investor Services assigns Aa1 long-term and MIG 1 short-term ratings to the Borough's bonds and notes. "Aa1 is considered one of the highest ratings in the country for municipalities, and the Borough continues to strive for the highest bond rating, the elusive Aaa," said Roche. "Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy, the Borough maintained its fiscal strength during the pandemic, and we continue to utilize strong financial management policies and practices."
Moody's Aa1 bond rating is the second highest rating a debt instrument can be assigned. Moody's judges' Aa1 debts to be of high quality and are subject to limited credit risk for investors, equating to a relatively low-interest rate for the Borough.
