INDONESIA is the most regular issuer of global sovereign sukuk even as its Islamic banking assets and local-currency sales lag behind Malaysia.
Finance Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro said on Jan 9 that the Jakarta government will offer international sukuk in the first half, the fifth straight year it's issued such debt. The South-east Asian nation sold US$5 billion of global sukuk in the past four years, compared with US$3.25 billion for Malaysia and US$2 billion for Qatar, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
