  • Emirates NBD announced on Tuesday a new tier one perpetual offering. However, the bond will not be Basel III compliant and therefore will not have a point of non-viability (PONV) feature.
  • The Kingdom of Bahrain was on track to price the first dollar bond from the country this year on Tuesday, having released initial price thoughts for a 30 year bullet bond on Tuesday at low 6%.
  • The Emirate of Sharjah is on track for a tightly priced benchmark deal having drawn over $4bn in orders for its first ever sukuk. Aggressive guidance has eliminated any hope of a premium over fellow emirate Ras Al-Khaimah (RAK), which some buyers had expected. But such was Middle East liquidity that investors would still happily lap up the deal, they said.
  • Advanced Petrochemical Co (Advanced) will ask shareholders for approval to sell sukuk, as the company considers its first debt sale ever in the capital markets.
  • Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) has picked lead managers for its next sukuk deal and will finish investor meetings on September 17 — giving the market all the mandates it needs for September to smash the previous record for monthly sukuk sales.
