Rating Reports
Moody’s
Moody's Investors Service has assigned National Bank of Fujairah (NBF) a deposit rating of Baa1/Prime-2 with a BCA (baseline credit assessment) of ba1. All ratings carry a stable outlook.
NBF's standalone BCA reflects (1) solid capitalisation metrics underpinned by stable profitability and (2) solid liquidity and funding metrics despite rapid asset growth.
NBF's Baa1 issuer rating incorporates a high three notches of uplift from the bank's BCA, which reflects Moody's assessment of a high likelihood of UAE government support in the event of need.
Standard and Poor’s (S&P)
S&P assigned NBF BBB+/A-2 rating, which reflects NBF's business and financial profiles and anticipation that NBF remains a conservatively managed niche bank in UAE’s trade finance and business banking markets.
The long term rating benefits from two notches of uplift, reflecting S&P's view of moderately high likelihood that NBF would receive timely and sufficient extraordinary government support in the event of need.
