Moody's Investors Service has revised on October 14th its outlook on Oman's sovereign credit rating to stable from negative and affirmed the country’s long-term foreign credit rating at Ba3, citing the significant easing of government liquidity and external financing pressures, mainly as a result of significantly higher oil prices since the middle of 2020, and the expectation that oil prices will average above $60/barrel during the next several years, increasing the likelihood that these pressures will remain contained. Standard & Poor's credit rating for Oman stands at B+ with positive outlook. Fitch's credit rating for Oman was last reported at BB- with negative outlook. In general, a credit rating is used by sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and other investors to gauge the credit worthiness of Oman thus having a big impact on the country's borrowing costs. This page includes the government debt credit rating for Oman as reported by major credit rating agencies.

Standard & Poor, Moody's, Fitch and DBRS' sovereign debt credit rating is displayed above. In addition, the Trading Economics (TE) credit rating is shown scoring the credit worthiness of a country between 100 (riskless) and 0 (likely to default). Unlike the ratings provided by the major credit agencies, our index is numerical because we believe it is easier to understand and more insightful when comparing multiple countries. Arguably, our ratings are less likely to be manipulated because they are unsolicited and we are not paid in any way to provide countries with a rating. Technically, our ratings are based on a forward looking macro economic model which takes into account several leading economic indicators, financial markets and very little discretion.
