Issuing sukuk: from idea to listing
Everything a CFO should know before deciding to issue sukuk: structures, documents, parties and timeline.
Sukuk are Islamic securities issued against a specific asset or contract, letting companies raise funds for their projects from capital-market investors.
What is sukuk?
Unlike a bank loan, sukuk funding comes from many investors, and each issue's structure depends on the underlying contract.
Structures
- Murabaha: suited to buying raw materials or assets.
- Ijara: based on the company's fixed assets.
- Manfa'a: based on the future usufruct of an asset.
Documents and parties
Audited statements, a project summary, a guarantor or credit rating, and coordination with parties such as the issuing agent, market maker and underwriter.
Timeline
Duration depends on document readiness and the structure chosen.
Summary
For companies with financial transparency and a clear project, sukuk is a strong route to long-term funding.
