The strategic initiative seeks to promote financial inclusion and expand the investor base for government financial instruments by enabling citizens and residents to invest easily and securely inline with Islamic principles. The minimum investment amount starts from Dhs4,000.

The initiative aligns with the UAE leadership's vision to economically empower the community and supports the objectives of the ‘Year of Community’, which underscores the values of solidarity and giving, enhances the wellbeing of individuals and families, and encourages active community participation in building a more sustainable future.

Sheikh Maktoum Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, First Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Finance of the UAE, said, “The ‘Retail Sukuk’ initiative reflects the UAE's vision and its leadership's directives to empower the community and enhance participation in the national development journey through financial policies that prioritise human wellbeing. Launched within the framework of the ‘Year of Community’, the initiative opens new horizons for citizens and residents to contribute to shaping the future through secure, government-backed investment instruments.”
