Emirate of Ajman plans debut international bond | Reuters:

Ajman, the smallest emirate in the seven-member UAE federation, plans to sell its first U.S. dollar-denominated bond next year, a government official told Reuters.

Governments in the Gulf have increasingly relied on foreign funding over the past few years as the region’s economy has slowed down following a slump in oil prices. 

Should it go ahead with its plans, Ajman would be the fifth emirate to issue debt internationally after Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah.
