Why
this is important:
Timely certification permits counties, cities, and school districts
to smoothly manage their finances so they can
provide services to their residents.
What we're doing about this:
The Department of Management has automated systems so that data from local governments can be more quickly and accurately processed. These improvements have helped us to continue to achieve our target in recent years.

Highlighted Measure:
Bond Rating
DATA SOURCE: Department of Management
Updated 11/20/08 |
 |
|
Why
this is important:
A state's bond rating is the best measure of a
state's credit-worthiness. It reflects the faith
the financial community places in the state's
financial management and its ability to repay
state bonds, notes, and other obligations. The
better the state's credit rating, the less the
state has to pay in interest on loans and other
obligations.
What we're doing about this:
In raising its issuer credit rating (ICR) on Iowa to "AAA"
from "AA+" during September of 2008, Standard
& Poor's noted that the upgrade was merited based on
the stability and continuing diversification of the stat's
economy and the sustained commitment to funding "rainy
day" reserves at statutorily mandated levels.
