The UAE Ministry of Finance is set to launch its inaugural Sovereign Retail T-Sukuk Programme on June 24, providing residents and citizens with a unique opportunity to invest in government-backed, Shariah-compliant securities. With a minimum entry point of just Dh1,000, this initiative aims to promote a culture of savings and financial inclusion across the nation. These instruments are fully denominated in UAE dirhams and offer a fixed profit rate paid semi-annually over a two-year tenor, making them a highly secure option for individuals looking to diversify their portfolios with sovereign-backed assets.

To participate, eligible investors—defined as UAE Nationals or residents with a valid Emirates ID—must possess a Dubai Financial Market (DFM) National Investor Number (NIN). The entire subscription process is designed to be seamless and digital, accessible through the DFM app, iVestor, or participating bank platforms. While there is no fee to subscribe, investors should be aware that the Sukuk is intended as a hold-to-maturity product. Although they can be traded on the secondary market via Nasdaq Dubai should liquidity be needed, market prices may fluctuate. By prioritizing accessibility and security, the government aims to empower households to plan for their financial future while strengthening the country's domestic capital markets.
