The Islamic Development Bank’s “AAA” credit rating was affirmed with a “Stable Outlook” by S&P. 

As IsDB continues to deliver its unique role in promoting economic development and social progress in member countries and Muslim communities in non-member countries and has continued its effort despite COVID-19 limitations. 

The stable outlook reflects S&P’s expectation that Islamic Development Bank's (IsDB's) financial profile will remain extremely strong over the next 24 months.  S&P also expects the bank to continue to enjoying preferred creditor treatment and other strong shareholder support.
