With the successful completion of its first $750 million three-year Senior Unsecured Commodity Murabaha Term Facility, Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) has significantly diversified its institutional funding sources and achieved a significant milestone in its funding strategy. The facility, which garnered a total commitment of over $1.2 billion, or roughly 1.6 times the facility size, is DIB’s first-ever syndicated Islamic financing deal.
Despite a complicated global market climate and ongoing geopolitical unpredictability throughout the region, it was carried out at competitive pricing. The robust involvement of regional and international banks indicates their continued confidence in DIB’s credit quality, sound balance sheet, and long-term growth trajectory.
The deal also shows the extent of institutional liquidity available to reputable financial institutions in the United Arab Emirates and the ongoing significance of Shariah-compliant financing arrangements in global banking markets.
The deal is a historic example of syndicated Islamic financing for DIB, enhancing the Bank’s status as a reliable counterparty in international financing markets and solidifying its place in global Islamic finance. HSBC Bank Middle East Limited, Mizuho Bank, and Standard Chartered served as the syndication’s Initial Mandated Lead Arrangers, Bookrunners, and Coordinators.
