Fitch Ratings has upgraded Salik Company's credit rating from A- to A with a stable outlook. This upgrade is attributed to Salik's strong financial position, robust business model, and its significant connection with Dubai's economy, as well as improvements in the emirate's credit quality. Salik, the exclusive toll gate operator in Dubai, has demonstrated strong financial performance, operational resilience, and a commitment to enhancing transparency and optimizing capital market access. The upgrade also considers Salik's exclusive role in Dubai's toll system, low leverage, and long-term concession agreement with the RTA, which ensures stable cash flow. As of September 30, 2025, Salik maintained a net debt/EBITDA ratio of 2.61x, well below its debt covenant, and generated significant free cash flow. The upgrade reflects international confidence in Salik's business model and Dubai's transportation system.
