Asia to Lead Sukuk Growth As Firms Tap Islamic Bonds
Ratings agency Standard & Poor’s stated that Islamic bond offerings may accelerate in the next 18 months, led by first-time issuers in Asia, after the region accounted for the most sukuk sold this year. While issuance of sukuk, or Islamic bonds, are down 17 percent globally this year, Asianborrowers issued $5.3 billion, about 68 percent of the total $7.8 billion worldwide. Sales from companies in the Persian Gulf dropped 24 percent to $2.5 billion so far in 2010 — the lowest level since 2005 — after Dubai World, one of the three main state-owned business groups in the United Arab Emirates, announced plans to restructure debt in November.
One credit analyst and joint chair of the Islamic finance working group at S& P in Paris stated that Sovereigns, particularly from Asia, are pushing for the revival of the sukuk market. Additional countries, or issuers domiciled in countries new to Islamic finance, to tap the sukuk market in the near future was expected. Likely, it will be within the next 18 months.
The Philippines’ state-owned Al-Amanah Islamic Bank is exploring a sale, according to bank president Armando Samia. Economic growth in developing Asia, including Malaysia and Indonesia, will accelerate to 9.2 percent this year from 6.9 percent in 2009. Middle Eastern economies may expand 4.5 percent compared with 2.4 percent, according to estimates by the International Monetary Fund.
Governments are tappinglocal and international sukuk markets to help set benchmark rates for corporate bond sales. The debt is typically backed by assets or cash flow because Islamic law bars interest payment. Instead, investors earn profits from the assets.

5Thanks for the intresting Blog but i would like to let you, the web site administrator and everyone who gets the chance to read this about a way to get a new IPhone 4G. Its extremely straightforward. You goto the web page fill in your email and other details then you get the totally free Iphone 4G. You may possibly believe its a scam but here is why it isn’t… They send you a Iphone that already has some apps installed on it so whenever you brouse the web you’ll see their Adverts. Thats IT! And also the adverts arn’t annoying they are just like normal ads seen on websites. http://freeiphone4g4u.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-to-get-free-iphone-4g.html. That offer is only availible in the US though, if your anywhere else it’s also possible to get a free IPad from here http://freeiphone4g4u.blogspot.com/2010/08/free-ipad.html.
