Since 2006, the government has maintained a continuous program of sukuk (Islamic bond) issuance with progressively longer maturities. The objective of the current program is to both develop Brunei Darussalam’s yield curve as a benchmark for corporate sukuk and provide a safe and liquid investment instrument for domestic financial institutions.

Brunei Darussalam has been a pioneer in issuing short-term sukuk with maturities of 1 year or less. Through June 2017, a total of 146 government sukuk using the principle of al-ijarah (issuance based on underlying assets) had been issued, bringing the cumulative amount issued to BND10.97 billion, with an outstanding amount of BND393.2 million as of 30 June 2017.
