Published on 26 February 2014
RAM Ratings has assigned a final AA3/Stable rating to AmIslamic Bank Berhad’s (the Bank) proposed RM3 billion Subordinated Sukuk Murabahah Programme (the Proposed Sukuk Programme), which is Basel-III compliant. At the same time, we have reaffirmed AmIslamic’s AA2/Stable/P1 financial institution ratings, along with the ratings of its outstanding sukuk.

The financial institution ratings of AmIslamic reflect its strategic importance as AMMB Holdings Berhad’s (AmBank Group, rated AA3/Stable/P1 by RAM) Islamic banking arm, and also the Bank’s highly integrated operations with those of its sister bank, AmBank (M) Berhad (rated AA2/Stable/P1) under the universal-banking platform. AmIslamic leverages on AmBank’s risk-management systems, infrastructure and extensive branch network as well as channels.
