GCC sovereign ratings diverge as economic impact of oil price varies | GulfNews.com:

"The credit ratings of all GCC countries have come under pressure following the sharp decline oil prices over the past two years, which resulted in a squeeze on government finances.

However, analysts say there is a clear divergence in terms of ratings and the outlook among countries depending on their perceived resilience to the oil shock.
