how long did it take canada to recover its AAA rating when it was downgraded?

10 years.


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 percent, through a series of stringent spending cuts.
