Burjeel Holdings, a prominent healthcare provider listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, has reached a significant financial milestone by securing its first-ever credit ratings from S&P Global and Moody’s. Both agencies assigned the group a stable outlook, citing its robust market presence, disciplined financial management, and growing influence across the UAE and the wider GCC region. To complement these ratings, the company has officially established a $1.5 billion Senior Unsecured Sukuk Programme, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange’s International Securities Market. This strategic move is designed to diversify the firm's funding sources and provide the capital flexibility needed to accelerate investments in AI-driven healthcare, advanced medical research, and digital transformation.

The new financial framework is expected to support Burjeel’s long-term expansion as it scales its operations in Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the UAE. By tapping into Shariah-compliant debt markets, the group aims to strengthen its capital structure while continuing to provide high-quality, multi-brand clinical care. Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Chairman and CEO, noted that these ratings serve as a testament to the company’s solid financial standing. As part of this rollout, the organization has begun discussions with regional and international investors regarding a potential inaugural five-year sukuk offering, signaling a proactive approach to maintaining strong liquidity as they capitalize on the region’s growing demand for specialized medical services.
