Sukuk

Cagamas issues Sukuk via its existing RM20 billion Islamic/Conventional Commercial Papers (ICPs/CCPs), and RM60 billion Islamic/Conventional Medium Term Notes (IMTNs/CMTNs) programmes and via its subsidiary, Cagamas Global Sukuk Berhad under the USD2.5 billion Multicurrency Sukuk Issuance Programme (“Multicurrency Sukuk”) to facilitate Islamic foreign currency funding programme.

1. Fixed Profit Rate Islamic Medium-Term Notes (IMTNs)

   IMTNs are Ringgit denominated Sukuk with fixed profit rate with tenures of more than one year and are issued either at a premium, par or at a discount, with or without a profit rate. Profit distribution of the IMTNs are normally made on half-yearly basis. The redemption of the relevant IMTNs are at nominal value together with the profit due upon maturity.

2. Variable Profit Rate Notes (VRNs)

Profit distributions of the VRNs are normally made on quarterly or half-yearly basis. At maturity, the face value of the relevant VRNs are redeemed with any outstanding profit amounts due on maturity.

3. Islamic Commercial Papers (ICPs)
