| Summary: | This paper attempts to identify the effects of firm performance and governance indicators on the credit rating of firms in the MENA region. We used ordered probit model considering a panel structure with a dependent variable (credit rating) and six independent variables that include financial ratios and governance indicators. This sample include 2463 firms during eight years (2006-2013).
