S&P Outlook on Gulf Sukuk Return in 2027
Standard & Poor's agency expects some Gulf sukuk issuers to return to the markets in 2027, as the region's economies recover and the demand for financing increases after sukuk issuances declined by 20% during the first nine months of 2026. Meanwhile, global sukuk issuances rose by 4% in the same period, with projections that this year's issuance will total between $270 billion and $280 billion, and with the possibility that the market will exceed this range slightly in 2027 depending on geopolitical developments and monetary policies. The return of issuers will depend on continued favorable financing conditions and stable investor appetite. Despite the decrease in issuance volumes, there is strong demand for Gulf sukuk, as Saudi Arabia raised $3.25 billion from an international offering in September amid orders reaching $16.5 billion, successfully reducing the pricing margin by 30 basis points.
