The Ministry of Finance (MoF), in its capacity as issuer and in collaboration with the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) as issuing and payment agent, announced the successful completion of the October 2026 auction of UAE dirham-denominated Islamic Treasury Sukuk (T-Sukuk) and Treasury Bonds (T-Bonds), with a total issuance of AED1.1 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The transaction is part of the T-Sukuk issuance programme for 2026, as published on the MoF\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The auctions witnessed strong participation from the primary dealers for the T-Sukuk maturing in October 2029 and the T-Bonds tranche maturing in January 2031. Total bids amounted to AED4.54 billion, representing an oversubscription of 4.1 times. This robust demand reflects investors\u2019 confidence in the UAE’s creditworthiness and Islamic finance framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The auction results highlighted competitive, market-driven pricing with a YTM of 4.95 percent for the new T-Sukuk tranche maturing in October 2029 and 5.05 percent for the T-Bond tranche maturing in January 2031. These yields represent tight spreads of 19 and 26 to basis points, respectively, above comparable US Treasuries at the time of issuance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the T-Sukuk & T-Bonds are listed on Nasdaq Dubai, enhancing investor access in the secondary market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The AED T-Bond and T-Sukuk programmes play a vital role in supporting the development of the UAE\u2019s dirham-denominated yield curve, offering secure investment instruments for a wide range of investors. Furthermore, they reinforce the local debt capital market, contribute to the development of the broader investment landscape, and support the UAE\u2019s long-term economic sustainability and growth objectives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
