Bond market organisation ‘close’

Gulf-based banks, law firms and other market participants are close to launching a professional bond market organisation, a US Treasury envoy told a regulators’ conference in Dubai.

Michael Grifferty, a regional adviser for government debt issuance, said a bond and sukuk market would be the “spare tyre which needs to be inflated” to help in the economic crisis.

“In the next months, we will see a market organisation where market players and service providers will... provide input to regulators,” said Mr Grifferty.
