AM Best Places Credit Ratings of Arabia Insurance Company – Jordan Under Review With Developing Implications
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AM Best has placed under review with developing implications the Financial Strength Rating of B (Fair) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of 'bb' (Fair) of Arabia Insurance Company – Jordan (AICJ) (Jordan).
This Credit Rating (rating) action follows the announcement on May 21, 2025, that AICJ's ultimate parent, Arabia Group Holding Limited, has signed an agreement to sell a 39% stake in the company to Jerusalem Insurance Company PLC. Although not yet completed, the transaction has received regulatory approval.
The under review with developing implications status reflects uncertainty over AICJ's future strategy and its financial strength. The ratings are expected to remain under review with developing implications until AM Best has assessed the impact on AICJ's credit rating fundamentals, which includes an assessment of the acquirer's creditworthiness.

South Carolina Will Host the 2025 Michelin Guide American South Ceremony
Greenville, South Carolina, is set to host the 2025 Michelin Guide ceremony for the American South. The newly extended guide will cover restaurants from Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, in addition to the existing guide in Atlanta. Winners of the coveted awards will be announced at the ceremony on November 3 at the Peace Center. Michelin North America is headquartered in Greenville, making it a fitting choice for the event. Recent expansion The guide's new presence in the region is motivated by financial backing; the new regional guide is produced in partnership with Travel South USA, a multi-state collaboration that promotes tourism across the southern U.S. The Discover South Carolina tourism board is the host for the ceremony. With its expansion in the South, the guide has added new cities across the U.S. this year, including Boston and Philadelphia joining the Northeast cities guide. In the past two years, the company has published new guides covering Texas, Colorado, and Atlanta; growing its coverage in Florida and Toronto. This is all in addition to the company's existing North American guides covering Vancouver, Mexico, California, New York City, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. Related The Price Tag to Bring the Michelin Guide to Atlanta In November, cities like Charleston and New Orleans, will discover if they've received a Michelin star or Guide distinction for the first time. The guide is seen by many as the global standard of restaurant reviews with its up to three-star rating system, with one-star considered a 'very good restaurant in its category,' two-star considered 'worthy of a detour,' and three-star deemed a 'special journey.' There is also the Bib Gourmand status, an unstarred category given to high-caliber restaurants that serve a two-course meal for around $50 a person. Attendance to the American South Michelin Guide ceremony is by invitation only. Sign up for our newsletter.
