Asia’s leading credit rating agency, RAM Rating Services Berhad (RAM Ratings) envisions greater presence in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries.
As part of the Malaysia International Islamic Financial Centre (MIFC) Roadshow to Bahrain from 14 to 15 October, RAM Ratings is exploring further collaborations between the regions, particularly in the areas of Islamic finance. It foresees demand for capital in both Manama and Kuala Lumpur rising in step with the rebound in the global economy.
“As gateways to the fast growing regions, Manama and Kuala Lumpur can offer linkages between the GCC and Malaysia to provide funding and investment opportunities and enhance market reach,” said Mrs Liza Mohd Noor, RAM Ratings chief executive officer.
Since its inception, RAM Ratings has ventured into countries such as Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Kazakhstan, providing an array of services from credit ratings, training, technical assistance and transfer of expertise
RAM Ratings was incorporated in 1990 as the pioneer credit rating agency in Malaysia, and has been voted as the top domestic rating agency in the Asia Pacific region by Asian Development Bank, and also named the most influential rating agency in the region.
