The United Arab Emirates has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative titled ‘Retail Sukuk,’ designed to open doors for both citizens and residents to invest in government-backed Treasury Sukuk (T-Sukuk). This innovative program, launched by the UAE’s Ministry of Finance, marks a significant step in democratizing access to government financial instruments, traditionally reserved for institutional investors. The initiative will be rolled out in collaboration with national banks, with the first participating bank set to be revealed on November 3, 2025. By enabling individuals to invest in T-Sukuk through these banks, the UAE aims to foster a culture of saving, encourage personal involvement in economic growth, and provide a direct pathway for citizens to contribute to the nation’s development. This move underscores the UAE’s commitment to financial inclusivity and its vision of empowering its people to play an active role in shaping the country’s economic future.
