The outlook for Gulf banks in light of low oil prices

Article Abstract:

Most banks in the Gulf States were given a financial strength rating of not higher than the D/D+ range by Moody's Investors Service mainly because of low oil prices. The low rating is mainly attributed to the expectation that the credit quality of most Gulf States banks will deteriorate from time to time as the price of oil, which began to slide in 1997, is speculated to continue to stay low. Moreover, the funding structures of Gulf banks make them highly vulnerable to insolvency problems.
