Jeddah, 30/06/2016 :
The Islamic Development Bank “ AAA” credit rating was affirmed with a “Stable Outlook” by Fitch, The ratings and the stable outlook reflect the intrinsic strengths of IsDB; in particular its strong capitalisation, high liquidity levels and well-diversified portfolio compared with other regional multilateral development banks (MDBs). Fitch also recognized the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB)’s capitalisation as being among the strongest in the universe of MDBs.
The IsDB remains amongst the most highly-rated MDBs and the highest in the Muslim World. The ‘AAA’ rating enhances the Bank’s capacity to mobilization external resources to fulfil its development mandate and play a leading role in the development of the Islamic Finance Industry.
