Securing a strong investment grade credit profile has always been a key strategic objective for Ooredoo as it pursues its strategy for growth and development. In December 2008, The Ooredoo Group received first public credit ratings from Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, and Fitch Ratings.

The strong credit profile assigned by these well-respected rating agencies confirms our commitment to capital discipline. We believe these ratings underline both Ooredoo's domestic strength and the success of its international expansion of recent years.
