Alberta finance ministry spokeswoman says less financing required due in part to actions taken by government to improve cash management

Alberta said it’s reducing its borrowing target for the current fiscal year as credit spreads widen and coronavirus concerns batter oil prices, a key revenue source for the western Canadian province.

In October, Alberta released a budget plan that called for $12.2 billion to be raised in the long-term debt markets for the fiscal year ended March 31 — of which $5.5 billion was remaining as of Tuesday. Ontario, by comparison, completed its $31.6 billion borrowing plan last week, according to Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. data. Meanwhile, Quebec began pre-funding for the following fiscal year in late 2019.
