As many as 38 TASI-listed companies and nine Nomu-listed firms held credit ratings from specialized agencies in Q1 2026, according to data compiled by Argaam. 
Credit ratings are a key indicator of an issuer’s ability to meet its financial obligations on time. They are widely used to assess the creditworthiness of corporates, sovereigns, and issuers of financial instruments.
These ratings are assigned by global agencies such as Standard Poor’s (SP), Fitch, and Moody’s, alongside local agencies, most notably Financial Analytics (RATING) and Tassnief.
Rating agencies typically evaluate risks associated with corporate debt issuances, with the issuer’s capacity to service interest and principal payments forming the primary benchmark underpinning final credit ratings.
