The United Arab Emirates has earned high sovereign credit ratings from all three major international credit rating agencies, reinforcing global confidence in the country's economic strength and fiscal stability.
On 17 June 2025, S&P Global assigned the UAE a sovereign rating of “AA” with a stable outlook. Moody’s followed with an “Aa2” rating, while Fitch Ratings affirmed “AA-”, both also with stable outlooks. The unified endorsement underscores the UAE’s solid fiscal fundamentals and resilience amid regional and global challenges.
H.H. Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, attributed this achievement to the leadership’s long-term economic vision and commitment to diversification, transparency, and fiscal discipline.
The ratings highlight the UAE’s ability to maintain financial stability, grow non-oil revenues, and manage risks effectively. All three agencies acknowledged the country’s strong sovereign assets, fiscal buffers, and consistent efforts to attract investment and talent.
This milestone affirms the UAE’s position as a reliable global economic hub and enhances its standing in international capital markets.
