LONDON – October 21, 2025 – The Chairman of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Group, H.E. Dr. Muhammad Al Jasser, opened the market at the London Stock Exchange (LSE) this morning to celebrate the listing of IsDB’s €500 million Green Sukuk, issued under its enhanced 2025 Sustainable Finance Framework.

The ceremony was attended by senior executives from IsDB, LSE Group, and global banking partners. The occasion marked IsDB’s second Green Sukuk and reaffirmed IsDB’s role as a trusted development partner connecting sustainable capital with global development priorities.

In his remarks, Dr. Al Jasser underlined the significance of the event, noting that the listing demonstrates IsDB’s steadfast commitment to mobilizing global capital in support of sustainability and inclusive development. He emphasized that the issuance builds on IsDB’s strong track record of responsible financing and innovation in Islamic capital markets.

“For the Islamic Development Bank, this is far more than a transaction” said Dr. Al Jasser. “It reflects our commitment to mobilizing resources and channeling them into projects that improve lives and empower communities through sustainability, environmental stewardship, and good governance.”

Julia Hoggett, CEO of the London Stock Exchange, congratulated IsDB on its contribution to sustainable finance and market innovation, noting that the listing further strengthens London’s position as a global center for ESG-aligned investment and capital market development.

The €500 million Green Sukuk, which achieved a record five-times oversubscription, will finance/refinance projects in renewable energy, climate adaptation, and sustainable food systems across IsDB’s eligible member countries.

The ceremony took place ahead of the FT–IsDB Global Sukuk Summit, where global investors, policymakers, and financial leaders will convene to discuss the expanding role of Sukuk in international capital markets.
