Large scale sukuks – Kuwait developing legal framework to regulate Islamic finance

It seems that Kuwait's role in the fast-growing global market for sukuks could become larger, if lawmakers expand and administer a more robust legal framework to regulate the issuance of sharia-compliant debt.
However, during this time, Kuwait-based Gulf Investment Corporation (GIC) and Kuveyt Turk participation bank have raised funds in the last months by selling sukuks.

Gulf Investment Corporation sells $255 million Sukuk

Gulf Investment Corporation (GIC) has gathered 750 million Malaysian ringgit (255 million US dollars) by selling five-year Islamic bonds at 4.90 percent.
The Sukuk, which is part of a 3.5 billion ringgit funding program set up earlier, will be launched on Wednesday to about a dozen investors.
This statement came from a source familiar with the deal, who prefers to remain unidentified as the deal has not been made yet.
