The UAE’s first seven-year dirham Islamic government bonds attracted orders worth six times more than the amount offered, the finance ministry has said.

The AED550 million ($150 million) treasury sukuk tranche, also known as T-sukuk, had strong demand, with the order book reaching nearly AED3.1 billion, the ministry said in a statement.

Overall demand for two tranches, which mature in May 2030 and February 2033, reached AED5.9 billion. This represents an oversubscription ratio of 5.3 times.

The yield-to-maturity was 3.53 percent for May 2030 and 3.779 percent for February 2033, priced below par to comparable US Treasuries.

The sukuk, or sharia-compliant bonds, are listed under the UAE treasury Islamic sukuk programme with Nasdaq Dubai, which aids investor access to the secondary market.

Further reading:

  • UAE opens up treasury sukuk to individual investors
  • UAE to sell first dirham T-sukuk worth nearly $300m
  • UAE’s first dirham T-sukuk gets bids worth $2.3bn

The government says the Islamic T-sukuk programme plays a vital role in developing the UAE’s dirham-denominated yield curve. It also supports the country’s long-term economic sustainability and growth objectives.

In October the finance ministry said retail investors in the UAE would soon be able to invest in T-sukuk that were previously available only to institutions. The minimum investment was set at AED4,000.

Finance minister Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed Al Maktoum said the initiative aimed to make investment in government bonds an “accessible, comprehensive digital experience” for citizens and residents.

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected

The post Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talks to reporters following the regular Federal Open Market Committee meetings at the Fed on July 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images The Federal Reserve is projecting only one rate cut in 2026, fewer than expected, according to its median projection. The central bank’s so-called dot plot, which shows 19 individual members’ expectations anonymously, indicated a median estimate of 3.4% for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026. That compares to a median estimate of 3.6% for the end of this year following two expected cuts on top of Wednesday’s reduction. A single quarter-point reduction next year is significantly more conservative than current market pricing. Traders are currently pricing in at two to three more rate cuts next year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, updated shortly after the decision. The gauge uses prices on 30-day fed funds futures contracts to determine market-implied odds for rate moves. Here are the Fed’s latest targets from 19 FOMC members, both voters and nonvoters: Zoom In IconArrows pointing outwards The forecasts, however, showed a large difference of opinion with two voting members seeing as many as four cuts. Three officials penciled in three rate reductions next year. “Next year’s dot plot is a mosaic of different perspectives and is an accurate reflection of a confusing economic outlook, muddied by labor supply shifts, data measurement concerns, and government policy upheaval and uncertainty,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. The central bank has two policy meetings left for the year, one in October and one in December. Economic projections from the Fed saw slightly faster economic growth in 2026 than was projected in June, while the outlook for inflation was updated modestly higher for next year. There’s a lot of uncertainty…
