Saudi's 2010 Sukuk Sales to Double on Spending: Islamic Finance

Sukuk from borrowers in the largest Arab economy may more than double to $4.5 billion this year from $2.1 billion in 2009, as a “scarcity” of local notes that comply with the religion’s ban on interest bolsters demand from local banks, according to Riyadh-based HSBC Saudi Arabia Ltd.

Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil supplier, announced the five-year plan in 2008 to spur economic growth and finance construction projects. Saudi Finance Minister Ibrahim al-Assaf said on Feb. 11 that gross domestic product may increase more than 4 percent in 2010, compared with 0.6 percent last year.

“There’s going to be a reasonable amount of sukuk supply this year,” Rajiv Shukla, managing director and head of global capital finance at HSBC Saudi Arabia in Riyadh, a unit of HSBC Holdings Plc, said in an interview yesterday. “Saudi Arabia has been a steady supplier.”
