Abu Dhabi saw a 34% increase in mortgage transactions in 2024, with nearly 5,000 mortgages, worth a total AED7.1 billion secured. Loans for apartments dominated the mortgage market, up 66% in volume and 55% in value on the previous year. Falling interest rates, increasing investor confidence and attractive financing options from banks fuelled mortgage demand last year, it stated. Almost 40 residential projects were launched in Abu Dhabi last year, bringing 11,000 new units to the market. Al Reem island saw the highest number of new units (2,000), followed by Saadiyat Island (1,800) and Al Bahyah (1,700). Aldar Properties dominated the market, launching around 4,000 units across 12 projects, reinforcing its position as a leading player in the capital's real estate sector. The performance of this year's off plan market will hinge on the number of new launches: a decrease in new projects could lead to a decline in volume and value of off plan transactions.- TradeArabia News Service Copyright 2024 Al Hilal Publishing and Marketing Group Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

UAE Ministry of Finance Announces Successful AED1.1 Billion Islamic T-Sukuk Auction
The UAE Ministry of Finance (MoF), in collaboration with the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE), has announced the results of its latest Islamic Treasury Sukuk (T-Sukuk) auction. The issuance, amounting to AED1.1 billion, is part of the Ministry's Islamic T-Sukuk programme for the first quarter of 2025. The auction saw strong interest from eight primary dealers, with bids totaling AED7.1 billion—oversubscribed by 6.5 times. The T-Sukuk offered two tranches, maturing in August 2028 and September 2029, reflecting a robust demand for UAE dirham-denominated assets. The auction's success is evident in the market-driven prices, with the August 2028 tranche yielding 4.18%, and the September 2029 tranche yielding 4.21%. These rates represent a narrow spread of just one basis point above comparable US Treasuries at the time of the auction. This Islamic T-Sukuk issuance is part of broader efforts to strengthen the UAE's local debt capital market, expand the dirham-denominated yield curve, and offer safe investment options for investors. The programme supports the UAE's commitment to fostering sustainable economic growth and enhancing the investment environment. The Ministry's continued issuance of Islamic T-Sukuk underscores the UAE's dedication to diversifying its financial instruments, providing opportunities for both local and international investors.
