The UAE Ministry of Finance has launched the country's first Sovereign Retail T-Sukuk programme, a new Shariah-compliant investment product designed to encourage saving, broaden financial inclusion and give individuals access to government investment opportunities. The initiative was developed in collaboration with the Central Bank of the UAE and marks a major expansion of the country's retail investment landscape.
Officials say the programme will allow ordinary investors to participate in sovereign-backed financial instruments through a simple subscription process offered by participating UAE banks.
