Rated A+ by S&P

We facilitate the flow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDIs) into Arab Member Countries and support Arab export worldwide. Here’s a snapshot of our business as it stands today.

In June 2025, S&P Global Ratings Services affirmed its long-term credit rating and financial strength rating of the Arab Investment and Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (Dhaman) at A+ with a stable outlook.
Standard & Poor’s continues to base its ratings on Dhaman up on:
  • Strong financial profile
  • Good capital adequacy
  • Exceptional liquidity
  • Stable and continuous support by shareholders

Dhaman’s investment guarantee line has achieved a significant turnaround as the gross insured business in this line rebounded to USD 650 million in 2024, notably supported by a USD 500 million non-honoring of sovereign financial obligation insurance policy issued in 2023. This landmark transaction provided credit enhancement for an international loan extended to a member country government by two private banks, supporting health and educational projects. It was the first-of-its-kind deal for the member country to benefit from this multilateral credit enhancement. Two additional large investment guarantee deals are expected to be finalized in 2025, which could strengthen Dhaman’s business volumes in the medium term.
