Fitch Affirms Islamic Development Bank at 'AAA'; outlook stable

Fitch Ratings has affirmed Islamic Development Bank's (IDB) Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'AAA' and its Short-term IDR at 'F1+'. It seems that the Outlook for the Long-term IDR is stable.
IDB's non-equity portfolio includes a large proportion of speculative-grade counterparties. Exposure to credit risk is mitigated by strict internal country and counterparty limits, and by preferred creditor status, which grants the bank priority over other creditors in a sovereign default.
