Islamic bonds running at record levels

Malaysia continues to lead the way in the sukuk market as issuance recovers to hit an all-time high

Islamic bond issuance has hit a record high this year signalling a revival in the sukuk market following the Dubai debt crisis and other setbacks over the past few years.

The volume of sukuk bonds, which comply with Islamic law, has reached $10.2bn in the year-to-date, up 68% from the same period last year, according to data from Dealogic.
