12 Recent Initiatives Supporting African Sukuk Issuance The Capital Markets Authority of Kenya has recommended continuous allocation of a sukuk component in future bond issues targeting Islamic institutions and retail investors. Osun State in Nigeria issued a small sukuk ($62mil) but Nigeria has repeatedly expressed its interest in issuing sukuk. In 2011, the first banking license was granted to an Islamic financial institution. Multilateral institutions role and involvement with domestic regulators and regulatory initiatives support sukuk development. >>>>IDB provides technical and financial support to issuers and plans to establish a multi-billion program to help its members finance infrastructure.
