IDB to launch US$10bil sukuk


DUBAI: The Islamic Development Bank (IDB) will set up a US$10bil sukuk issuance programme on the Nasdaq Dubai exchange, a boost to Dubai’s efforts to become a top centre for Islamic finance in competition with other cities.

It would be the Jeddah-based IDB’s third sukuk programme – it already issues Islamic bonds in London and Kuala Lumpur – and its first in a Middle Eastern country.
