Moody's Islamic Finance Deputy Reports 20% Rise in Sukuk by May 2026
A report from Moody's highlights that the Islamic finance industry, particularly sukuk issuance, experienced an approximate 20% growth until the end of May 2026, with global issuance reaching around $86.8 billion. Despite geopolitical challenges, strong demand continues. The report emphasizes that credit quality and risk management have become crucial factors in the sukuk market, with Malaysia remaining the largest source, and Iranian and real estate sectors showing significant development. It also notes that increasing geopolitical tensions are re-pricing risks and affecting financing costs and consumption. However, the Gulf banking sector remains robust and highly resilient, especially among Islamic banks, thanks to sustained demand for Sharia-compliant products and the presence of substantial financial assets supporting the region's economies.
