Welcome to our “GCC credit rating handbook”. The report provides a comprehensive list of credit ratings for prominent GCC entities from the three leading rating agencies – Moody’s, S&P and Fitch – simply listed in alphabetical order for ease of use. Many of you may find the report helpful as a reference document when dealing with GCC fixed income instruments. We have also provided an overview/comparison of the credit quality of the main issuers in the GCC region (slide #4) as follows: Credit rating of each entity along with its peers, categorised under three subheadings, namely Sovereigns, Financials &
Corporates
We have used “composite ratings” for this analysis – i.e. the average of the ratings assigned by three leading rating agencies Moody’s, S&P and Fitch – in order to provide a holistic view of the credit strength of each bank.
If you have any feedback on the report, or indeed would like to discuss any of the point highlighted, please do contact me. Regards, Chavan Bhogaita Market Insights & Strategy Global Markets NBAD [email protected] +971 2 6110 127

As mentioned at the start of this report, we have used “composite ratings” for this analysis – i.e. the average of the
ratings assigned by three leading rating agencies Moody’s, S&P and Fitch – in order to provide a more representative view of the credit strength of each bank.
The composite rating is calculated as follows:
A score is assigned to the rating from each rating agency: AAA or equivalent being the best with a score of “1”, followed by AA+ or equivalent as “2”, AA or equivalent as “3”, AA- or equivalent as “4” and so on;
For example NBAD is rated Aa3/AA-/AA- by Moody’s/S&P/Fitch. So the scores are 4/4/4;
Hence the average of the scores is “4” which indicates a composite rating of “AA-” for NBAD;
In case the average score is not an absolute number – e.g. 4.33 (average of 4, 5, & 4 ) – the final score is derived by rounding off the average score to the nearest whole number. In this case “4”.
