Dr. Mohammed Al Jasser, President of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Group, announced that since 2003, the Bank has raised over $55 billion through nearly 80 sukuk issuances, including approximately $6 billion in green and sustainability sukuk.
Speaking at the 2025 Global Sukuk Summit in London—held under the theme “Capitalizing on Sukuk Beyond Traditional Markets”—Dr. Al Jasser addressed an audience of leading investors, policymakers, and financial institutions. The event was organized in partnership with the Financial Times Group.
He also highlighted the evolution of sukuk from a niche financial instrument into a globally recognized and trusted asset class, emphasizing its role in linking finance with real-world development outcomes.
Dr. Al Jasser underscored that this transformation gives sukuk enduring value by connecting capital markets with the real economy, channeling investments into infrastructure, renewable energy, healthcare, and education projects that directly improve communities’ lives.
He also praised the IsDB’s collaborations with the International Capital Market Association, the London Stock Exchange, and Financial Times Live, noting their pivotal contributions to advancing global dialogue on sustainable finance.
