    The US-located credit rating company pointed out that the corporates and infrastructure issuers in the GCC are going to navigate through this year with ease, motivated by steady gaining profiles, robust balance sheets, as well as healthy funding and maturity profiles.

    “Most companies exhibit a balanced debt composition with about half of their funding exposed to floating interest rates, and the rest based on fixed rates.
