VICTORIA has retained its triple-A credit rating, with the state's financial outlook listed as stable.
Treasurer Kim Wells welcomed the report from ratings agency Standard & Poor's (S&P) on Thursday, saying the announcement endorses the hard work the government has done to put the state's finances on a sustainable level.
"S&P have noted the coalition government's preparedness to take the right financial decisions to ensure Victoria's finances are strong and our economy is positioned for growth," Mr Wells said in a statement.
S&P said Victoria's ratings were backed by "capable and conservative management, the state's resilient and diversified economy, and its robust operating position".
"The Victorian government continues to demonstrate fiscal discipline through its response to the state's ongoing revenue challenges," it said in its summary.
"The government has demonstrated its willingness to make difficult political decisions, including containing wage growth and reducing the number of public servants.
"We don't expect the commitment to fiscal discipline to change over the life of the current parliament."
Mr Wells said the ratings endorsed the government's economic strategies and acknowledged the difficult decisions taken by the coalition.
"Victoria is one of just three Australian states to have a triple-A credit rating, and this gives Victoria a key competitive edge in funding new infrastructure," he said.
