Standard & Poor’s took away Canada’s AAA rating on debt denominated in foreign currencies in 1992.

But Ottawa recovered the grade in 2002 after reducing government spending as a fraction of GDP by more than eight per cent, through a series of stringent spending cuts. (Canada’s sovereign debt as denominated in Canadian dollars was never downgraded.)
