The Standard & Poor's confirmed on Friday the credit rating of the United Arab Emirates at “AA/A-1+” with a stable outlook.

The agency said current projections indicate a possible easing of the regional war and the major threats facing the UAE’s critical infrastructure within a few weeks.

S&P also expected that the escalation of Iranian military operations in the region may lead to slower economic growth and weaker external and fiscal performance in 2026.

The report added that economic growth in the UAE is likely to slow during 2026–2027 due to the ongoing regional conflict.

The agency also affirmed the credit rating of Abu Dhabi at “AA/A-1+” with a stable future outlook.
