- Sustainability-linked facility replaces USD and GBP loans in each country with competitively priced UAE-domiciled financing, backed by international and local banks
- Reflects confidence in Aramex’s credit profile and reinforces the Group’s ESG commitments and balance sheet efficiency
Dubai, UAE, 29 April 2026: Aramex, a leading global provider of comprehensive logistics and transportation solutions, has announced the successful completion of AED 815 million debt refinancing. The transaction consolidates existing USD and GBP-denominated loans into a single UAE-domiciled facility, arranged through a syndication of international and local banks at highly competitive pricing.
The refinancing secures extremely competitive commercial terms, delivering a meaningful financial benefit to the Aramex Group. By consolidating previously dispersed USD and GBP obligations into a single UAE-based facility, the transaction simplifies the Group’s debt structure and aligns its financing footprint with its core operational base in the region.
Lubna Shebli, Acting Chief Financial Officer, Aramex, said, “This transaction is a strong reflection of the confidence that both international and local banks have in Aramex’s credit profile and strategic direction. The refinancing of our debt to the UAE not only strengthens our balance sheet positioning within the country but also unlocks meaningful cost efficiencies that will benefit the Group over the medium and long term.”
Structured as a sustainability-linked instrument, the facility directly complements Aramex’s broader ESG strategy and long-term commitments.
The design of the financing ties its terms to the company’s sustainability performance, embedding accountability in its capital structure and signaling to stakeholders the Group’s continued prioritization of responsible business practices.
The transaction marks a further step in Aramex’s ongoing efforts to optimise its financial position and pursue sustainable growth across its global network.
