Cagamas Berhad, led by President/Chief Executive Officer Encik Kameel Abdul Halim and two officers, participated in the International Secondary Mortgage Market Association (ISMMA) and the Mortgage Market Global Summit 2025 (MMGS) in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines. Hosted by the National Home Mortgage Finance Corporation (NHMFC), the event brought together financial institutions, regulators, and mortgage agencies to discuss innovative funding models and investment opportunities.
At MMGS, Encik Kameel served as a panellist in the session "Asian Trends in Bond Structures (Sukuk Bonds)," highlighting the rapid global growth of sukuk issuance, which has surpassed conventional bonds. He emphasised Malaysia’s leadership in Islamic finance, the strong ESG alignment of sukuk, and its unique value proposition rooted in ownership and risk-sharing. Cagamas’ expanded sukuk issuances reflect rising market demand and its commitment to driving this sector forward.
