VIS Credit Rating Company Limited (VIS) has reaffirmed entity ratings of Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) at 'AAA' (Triple A) and short term rating of 'A-1+' (A-One Plus). The previous rating action was announced on October 11, 2018. The ratings reflect PTCL's leading market position, extensive network infrastructure, strong financial risk profile and adequate business risk profile.

The short-term rating of 'A-1+' denotes highest certainty of timely payment, liquidity factors are outstanding and safety is just below risk free short-term obligations of Government of Pakistan. Outlook on the assigned ratings is 'Stable'.
