London, 08 May 2026 – The Islamic Development Bank’s (“IsDB”) ‘AAA’ credit rating has been affirmed with a Stable Outlook by Fitch Ratings for the 20^th consecutive year. The trust certificates issued by IDB Trust Services Ltd and IsDB Trust Services No. 2 SARL have also been affirmed at ‘AAA’.

The affirmation reflects Fitch’s expectation that IsDB’s Standalone Credit Profile will remain consistent with its ‘AAA’ rating over the medium term, supported by robust liquidity buffers and ongoing paid-in capital increases. In addition, Fitch has notched up its assessment of shareholder support, reflecting improved capacity and a strong propensity to support the Bank.

Importantly, Fitch noted that recent geopolitical developments in the Middle East have not had a material direct impact on the Bank’s loan performance, with exposures remaining current, underscoring IsDB’s resilience and the effectiveness of its risk monitoring framework.

Dr. Abdourabbih Abdouss, Officer-In-Charge Vice President (Finance & CFO) at IsDB, welcomed the affirmation, stating:
“Amid heightened geopolitical tensions, we are delighted that Fitch has recognized the Bank’s resilience and growing policy importance. This affirmation reflects our continued commitment to strong financial fundamentals and to supporting our member countries.”

IsDB remains among the most highly rated multilateral development banks globally and the highest in the Muslim world. The ‘AAA’ rating enhances the Bank’s capacity to mobilize external resources to fulfil its development mandate and to support the advancement of the Islamic finance industry.

The Bank has been rated ‘AAA’ by Fitch since 2007.
