CHAPTER 5 Samples of Sukuk Issued
This chapter provides some real-world examples of already issued sukuk securities from different countries. Sukuk first came to the public exchange market in 1990, when Shell MDS offered an Islamic debt instrument and listed it for trading. Before this date, sukuk debt instruments were offered in over-the-counter markets and, in later years, in exchanges in countries other than Malaysia, which in 2014 accounts for four-fifths of the value of listing (see Table 5.1).
