MALAYSIA's Tenaga Nasional Bhd is seeking to raise as much as RM10 billion (S$3.6 billion) in an Islamic bond issue to develop a power plant project that it is planning to take over from debt-laden state fund 1MDB, sources familiar with the matter said.
The bond by Malaysia's national utility would be the largest sukuk globally this year, a major boost for the sukuk market after issuance fell in the first quarter to its lowest point in four years.
