First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), the UAE’s global bank, has reinforced its position as the highest-rated banking group in the MENA region and among the highest-rated globally, with AA- or equivalent ratings and stable outlooks following the latest affirmations by Moody’s, S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings, the bank said.
The 2026 sovereign credit outlook for the Middle East region is stable, said S&P Global Ratings, reflecting its expectation of continued economic and credit resilience despite persistent and elevated geopolitical tensions and lower oil prices.
