The Dubai<\/a> Financial Services Authority (DFSA), the independent banking, financial services, and markets regulator of Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), confirms that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ministry of Finance’s inaugural Sovereign Retail Treasury Sukuk (T-Sukuk) has been admitted to trading on Nasdaq Dubai.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

This is the UAE’s<\/a> first Sovereign sukuk targeted at retail investors, and\u00a0to be admitted\u00a0to trading\u00a0on a regulated exchange within DIFC.\u00a0Sukuk listed on Nasdaq Dubai have historically been held by institutional investors; this listing extends\u00a0access to the retail\u00a0investors\u00a0within DIFC’s market infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The DFSA is the independent regulator responsible for overseeing Nasdaq Dubai in its capacity as an Authorised Market Institution. Admission to\u00a0the Official List\u00a0is granted where an issuer meets the DFSA’s applicable listing requirements, including those relating to disclosure and investor protection.<\/p>\n

Mark Steward, Chief Executive of the DFSA, said:<\/b>\u00a0“The listing of the first sovereign retail\u00a0sukuk in the\u00a0UAE\u00a0on Nasdaq Dubai\u00a0is a signal moment for\u00a0Dubai’s\u00a0capital markets and\u00a0reflects the\u00a0continued evolution of\u00a0Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC)\u00a0toward\u00a0greater and wider\u00a0investor participation.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Dubai Financial Services Authority’s (DFSA)\u00a0role is to ensure this evolution takes place within a framework that\u00a0maintains\u00a0market integrity and\u00a0investor confidence, and this listing is a clear example of that framework working as intended.\u00a0We will continue to support the development of our capital markets as the engine for growth and capital in and for Dubai and the region.”\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Sukuk listed on Nasdaq Dubai are\u00a0tradeable on the\u00a0secondary market following admission. The listing adds to the depth and diversity of the sukuk market in DIFC, one of the world’s leading\u00a0centres for sukuk listings, with more than US$\u00a098.6\u00a0billion in outstanding sukuk currently listed on Nasdaq Dubai. It also expands the range of sovereign and retail-accessible instruments available within DIFC’s capital markets infrastructure, reflecting continued diversification of the products supported by the Centre’s listing framework.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The DFSA continues to support the development of well-regulated, transparent, and internationally aligned capital markets within DIFC, underpinned by a risk-based regulatory approach and ongoing engagement with market participants and infrastructure providers as new products and investor segments\u00a0emerge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
