Since the inaugural issuance of USD 490 million 3-month Sukūk in August 2013, the IILM program has grown and the IILM Sukūk outstanding currently stands at USD 3.51 billion. The IILM has issued across different tenors to provide IIFS with different options to better manage their liquidity management requirements.
