November 2011 showed a record number of sukuk issues totaling USD 8.86 billion globally, according to data compiled by Zawya Sukuk Monitor. Major launches contain a global seven-year USD 1 billion sukuk sold by Indonesia in the international markets followed by a similar seven-year USD 750 billion international sukuk by the Central Bank of Bahrain.
On the corporate level, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank sold five-year USD 500 million international sukuk each. These five issues advanced sukuk issuance to a record in November.
Major announcements of new sukuk were also made in November - some of which might hit the market as soon as December or during the first half of 2012.
