The Sukuk carries a coupon rate of 3.875 percent, the lowest rate ever achieved by Aldar, following strong investor demand, said a press release issued by Aldar The transaction, which marked the first 10-year public Sukuk offering by an Abu Dhabi-based issuer, was over six times oversubscribed, with global investors accounting for 71 percent of the total transaction allocation. Aldar Investments owns and manages an AED20 billion diversified portfolio of high-quality income-generating residential, retail, commercial and hospitality assets. Commenting on the Sukuk issuance, Talal Al Dhiyebi, CEO of Aldar, said, "The success of the transaction represents a strong endorsement by the global investment community of the Abu Dhabi economy and of Aldar’s leading position in the regional real estate sector.

The net proceeds of the offering will be used to refinance existing debt. The issuance contributes to an optimal diversification of Aldar Investments’ funding base and extends Aldar’s overall duration of its liabilities.
