More Gulf sukuk issuers to tap Malaysian market
More Gulf sukuk issuers are expected to tap the Malaysian market in the coming months although global issuance would be lower this year due to turmoil in the Middle East, HSBC's Malaysian Islamic banking head said.
Qatar is planning to issue sukuk, for the first time in nearly a decade, as it seeks to take advantage of global demand for safe havens and Sharia-compliant assets amid market uncertainty.
