Moody’s upgrades Emaar to Ba3; affirms firm's sukuk rating - Emirates 24/7

Moody’s Investors Service has upgraded Dubai-based property developer Emaar Properties’ corporate family rating to Ba3 from B1, the ratings agency announced in a statement today. The ratings upgrade comes in the wake of improved financial conditions at the region’s largest real estate developer.

Shares of the property giant, listed at the Dubai Financial Market, last traded at Dh2.47 per share today, down 1.2 per cent form yesterday and near their 52-week low of Dh2.35 in a market that has been on a negative trend on weak global sentiment.

“The upgrade of Emaar's CFR reflects the receding default risk, Moody’s said, adding that “the B1 rating of Emaar Sukuk has been affirmed. The outlook for all ratings is stable,” it said.
