Credit Rating Report Excerpt
“The rating reflects the bank's expanding franchise and sound financial fundamentals which are underpinned by its strong profitability, good and improving asset quality and large capital base […]
[…] our assessment of a very high probability of systemic support in case of need, which reflects the bank's growing market share in the UAE (of around 9.5% of total banking sector assets as of year-end 2011) and hence its overall importance to the country's banking and payment system. In addition, its majority (67%) ownership by members of the Abu Dhabi ruling family is also a key consideration in the support assessment.” – February 6, 2013
*Quotes extracted from Rating reports by Moody‟s and Fitch
“The upgrade of FGB's VR reflects a reassessment of its rating based on relative intrinsic strengths, including greater stability over time compared with domestic peers. […]
„”This includes consistent improvements in capital ratios, which are now the highest of immediate peers, and consistent improvements in asset quality indicators, where the NPL ratio is now the lowest of immediate peers.[…].
[…] extremely high probability that support would be provided by the UAE authorities, if required. This is based on strong history of support for the local banks from the UAE authorities and FGB‟s importance to the UAE banking system.” – April 8, 2013
“A2” with “Stable” outlook
