gulfnews : S&P accords RAK A/A-1 rating

The 5.5 per cent growth expected to be achieved by Ras Al Khaimah this year has prompted Standard & Poor's to assign it a A/A-1 ratinge.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services yesterday affirmed its long- and short-term ‘A/A-1' foreign and local currency sovereign credit ratings for the emirate.

"The outlook is stable. The transfer and convertibility assessment on RAK is ‘AA+'," S&P said in a statement. "We believe that membership of the UAE benefits RAK's economic and political stability, and that the UAE would provide external support in situations of political, economic, or financial stress."
