No deterioration of municipal utilities’ financing situation
PwC
Contrary to “expectations by many,” there is still no deterioration of the financing situation for municipal utilities, according to a study by consultancy PwC. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) on average increased 6.9 percent from 2014 to 2015. PwC analyses the financial situation of 300 municipal utilities for the years 2009 – 2015.
