- Description
On one side of a door Prime Minister John Key and Finance Minister Bill English sweat and fret over how credible the 2009 budget sounded to a Standard & Poor's delegation because New Zealand's credit rating is at stake. On the other side of the door two men from Standard & Poor's mop their brows and gradually relax as they too worry about their credibility; papers about 'sub-prime AAA' drop out of the briefcase of one of the men. Refers to the fact that New Zealand's AA+ rating was revised from stable to negative watch by Standard and Poor's in January and it said the future rating would hinge on the Budget. A delegation from the powerful credit rating agency Standard and Poor's received an advance briefing on the Budget.
