Fitch affirms IDB’s rating

Fitch Ratings has just confirmed the IDB’s Long-term Issuer Default Rating at ‘AAA’ with a Stable Outlook and Short-term IDR at ‘F1+’. Mostly the excellent rating shows the risk level of the Shari’ah compliant work that IDB does and its lack of exposure to collapsing asset classes around the world.
IDB’s capital is owned by 56 countries, which are all members of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference. The main shareholder is Saudi Arabia (‘AA-’/Stable), which owns 24.6% of callable capital.
