The UAE's sovereign retail T-sukuk attracted orders worth Dh445 million, nearly nine times oversubscribing the initial Dh50 million issuance.

The offering was doubled to Dh100 million in response to strong demand, marking the first such programme designed specifically for individual investors.

UAE nationals accounted for 72 per cent of subscribers, while investors under 25 and women together represented 45 per cent of the total subscriber base.

The programme differs from the fractional T-sukuk initiative launched in November, offering a distinct investment procedure and source of securities with a lower entry point.
