The A-/A-1 rating indicates the obligors strong capacity to meet its financial commitments. “Reforms in the past few years, including measures to drive non-oil economic growth and widen the non-oil tax base, alongside significant social liberalisation, should continue to improve Saudi Arabias economic and fiscal profile,” the rating agency said on Friday.”
