Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – 13 September 2021.
The International Islamic Liquidity Management Corporation (IILM) has successfully reissued a total of USD 1.2 billion short-term “A-1” rated Ṣukūk across three different tenors of one, three, and six-month respectively.
The three series were priced competitively at:
- 0.22% for USD 400 million for 1-month tenor;
- 0.28% for USD 500 million for 3-month tenor; and
- 0.35% for USD 300 million for 6-month tenor.
Today’s Ṣukūk reissuance marks the IILM’s ninth Ṣukūk auction for 2021. The auction garnered strong demand among the GCC-based Islamic Primary Dealers and investors, resulting in lower pricing compared to last month’s Ṣukūk auction.
