style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Vehicles will have to meet certain criteria to pass customs<\/strong>, including being shipped before 27

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>The global sukuk market is expected to keep the ball rolling well into 2025<\/strong>, with global issuances forecast to hit USD 190-200 bn this year, despite the spillover of geopolitical volatility in key sukuk markets, according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spglobal.com\/ratings\/en\/research\/articles\/250113-sukuk-market-strong-performance-set-to-continue-in-2025-13377916\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">a report<\/a> by global ratings agency S&amp;P Global. As global liquidity conditions improve, FCY-denominated sukuk are set to account for USD 70-80 bn of the total volume this year \u2014 compared to USD 72.7 bn in 2024. Sustainable sukuk are expected to contribute around USD 10-12 bn \u2014 a slight increase from USD 11.9 bn last year.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This forecast follows a solid 2024 for the global sukuk market<\/strong>, with sukuk issuances totaling USD 193 bn, slightly down from USD 197.8 bn in 2023 due to tighter liquidity and fiscal constraints in Turkey and Pakistan. Meanwhile, total FCY sukuk taken to market were up 29% y-o-y to USD 72.7 bn last year, primarily driven by an uptick in borrowing activity from the GCC region led by Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Monetary easing + geopolitical stability support the outlook:<\/strong> S&amp;P sees monetary easing continuing, supporting the financing needs of major sukuk issuers, particularly in the GCC where diversification away from oil revenues trigger an expansion in financing needs, according to S&amp;P. This accompanied by a stabilizing macroeconomy and supportive liquidity conditions should encourage issuers to debut more offerings.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A roadblock may be ahead: <\/strong>The sukuk market could face a shake-up in the coming years, with the expected downside risks of the Sharia Standard 62 by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Institutions (AAOIFI) forecasted to take shape next year. If implemented, the new standard \u2014 which would shift the focus from contractual obligations to underlying assets \u2014 could increase sukuk issuance costs and introduce additional risks for investors, the rating agency wrote. <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Want to go deeper in all things sukuk?<\/strong> Our favorite Islamic finance podcast Majlis &amp; Markets by Hassan Jivraj covered the broader sukuk topic extensively \u2014 including Shariah standards 59 &amp; 62 \u2014 with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/majlisandmarkets.buzzsprout.com\/1907033\/episodes\/16232516-episode-47-islamic-finance-decoded-growth-and-gaps\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">S&amp;P Global Ratings\u2019 Global Head of Islamic Finance Mohamed Damak<\/a> and AAOIFI <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/majlisandmarkets.buzzsprout.com\/1907033\/episodes\/16355515-episode-49-setting-the-standard-aaoifi-s-impact-on-islamic-finance\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Secretary General Omar Ansari<\/a> in two separate episodes. <\/p><p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING-<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets were mostly in the green this morning<\/strong>, following Wall Street\u2019s mixed performance on the back of moves on tech stocks.
