The UAE Ministry of Finance has launched the Retail Sukuk Initiative, a new programme allowing citizens and residents to invest directly in government-backed Islamic Treasury Sukuk (T-Sukuk).

The move marks a major step towards broadening public participation in the country’s financial markets.

The initiative, which will be activated in cooperation with national banks, enables individuals to begin investing with a minimum amount of Dh4,000.

The Ministry said details on the first participating bank will be announced on November 3, 2025.
