Bond order book crosses Dh9bn on high demand

The fixed-rate dollar sukuk by Dubai, whose order book is reported to have crossed $1.5 billion (Dh5.5bn) on active demand, is likely to be priced in the range of 6.5-6.7 per cent, according to analysts.

The order book for the second part of the issue, which is a floating-rate dirham sukuk, is more than Dh3.5bn. It is likely to be priced at 375 basis points above the three-month Eibor, which was 1.955 per cent on the Central Bank website yesterday.

However, a source involved with the offering, told Emirates Business: "The deal is not over yet. We have not yet finalised the size and terms of the transaction."
