Mashreq Lists USD 500 Million Sukuk on Nasdaq Dubai Amid Strong Global Demand
Mashreq has marked a key milestone in its Islamic finance journey with the listing of a USD 500 million Sukuk on Nasdaq Dubai, following strong investor demand and signaling renewed confidence in the region's capital markets. The Sukuk, due in 2030, was issued by Mashreq Al Islami Sukuk Company Ltd. under the bank's USD 2.5 billion Trust Certificate Issuance Programme. Attracting an oversubscribed orderbook of USD 2.9 billion, the issuance saw broad participation from over 90 global investors across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. The listing ceremony was attended by senior Mashreq executives, including Group CEO Ahmed Abdelaal, who rang the market-opening bell alongside Hamed Ali, CEO of Nasdaq Dubai and Dubai Financial Market. Abdelaal described the debut listing as a 'new chapter' in Mashreq's capital markets strategy, highlighting its disciplined funding approach and commitment to sustainable, Sharia-compliant financial solutions. Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair, Chairman of Mashreq, called the listing a demonstration of the bank's role in advancing global Islamic finance. Hamed Ali noted that the move underscores Nasdaq Dubai's position as a global platform linking regional issuers with international investors and supporting diversified financing needs. The successful Sukuk launch is also significant as it marked the first public issuance from the CEEMEA region since the announcement of U.S. tariffs in April 2025, which had stirred global market volatility. Its strong reception helped pave the way for additional regional issuances. With this listing, total Sukuk listings on Nasdaq Dubai have reached USD 97.2 billion, while overall debt listings now stand at over USD 140 billion — reinforcing Dubai's growing stature as a leading hub for Islamic and international capital markets.

Armani Celebrates 25 Years Of Its Ultra-Elegant Home Collections
As Armani/Casa turns 25, we celebrate the Italian maison that has been enhancing our homes for a quarter of a century This year marks 25 years since Italian designer Giorgio Armani expanded his brand to include Armani/Casa, exploring design and aesthetics beyond the boundaries of fashion, forever injecting homes with his impeccable style. Over the last two and a half decades, myriad iconic design pieces have found their way into our lives. Perhaps most enduring is the Logo Lamp. Initially designed back in 1982 when Giorgio Armani needed a desk light for his office in Milan, it became an instant staple of the collection when Armani/Casa officially launched in 2000, with many different iterations reimagining the classic to today. Much has taken place since then, with the brand expanding into new areas, such as the Interior Design Studio launched in 2004, Armani/Dada in 2008, which designs functional kitchen interiors, and Armani/Roca, which focuses on design concepts for bathrooms. The Armani/Casa Exclusive Wallcoverings Collection also launched in 2014. And, of course, not forgetting the 2010 opening of Armani Hotel in Dubai's Burj Khalifa District – quickly followed by Armani Hotel near Via Monte Napoleone in Milan the following year; both beacons of refinement drenched in Armani's signature minimalism. In 2017, the brand opened the world's largest retail store in Corso Venezia, and more recently, the Maison launched its first ever collection which is entirely dedicated to the outdoors. From Milan to the world, the brand now has Armani/Casa stores in major cities from Paris and Los Angeles to Tokyo and Shanghai, making it a global success story in its own right. To mark the quarter-century celebration of Armani/Casa – and the 50th anniversary of the era-defining fashion label – the designer launched an all-new collection entitled Oriental Inks. Debuting at Salone del Mobile 2025 in April, and inspired by East Asian artistry and antique craftsmanship, it features intricate, hand-painted pieces and embroidered furnishings – from beds to armchairs and desks – designed with his signature and unparalleled eye for detail. Having just turned 90, there are celebrations all round for Giorgio Armani – a life lived by his own design. With Armani/Casa, it's as if he's built a home to hold those memories.
