  • DIFC Investments built an orderbook of over $3bn for a $700m 10 year sukuk that it priced on Tuesday. UAE buyers short of fresh paper — and sukuk in particular — took the bulk of the deal, which pulled other Dubai sukuk tighter in its wake.
  • Saudi Arabia’s National Commercial Bank closed on Sunday the offer period for the sale of 300m of its shares, having attracted huge demand from its local market by offering a big discount.
  • DIFC Investments opened books for a 10 year benchmark sukuk issue on Monday morning, with pricing scheduled for later this week. Investors predicted the deal would be priced slightly inside the curve of Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority. But the DIFCI leads have already boldly set the starting spread inside Jafza's sukuk curve.
  • Bahrain’s sovereign wealth fund Mumtalakat has picked banks for a sukuk sale. The borrower has set up a new programme allowing conventional and Islamic issuance, and will use the proceeds to repay upcoming maturities.
  • The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg intends to issue another sukuk, but is investigating different ways of structuring its second deal.
  • Battersea Power Station closed a £1.35bn syndicated debt facility this week, which contained one of the largest ever sterling denominated Islamic tranches. UK based Islamic bankers felt the deal was strong demonstration of how international Islamic finance had become.
