Exceptional Results on UAE's treasury

-

 

 

I wanted to share this amazing news that I found today as UAE Ministry of Finance has successfully closed its offering of a U.S. dollar-denominated dual-tranche sovereign bond package, which is comprised of medium and long-term tranches: a 10-year tranche and a 30-year Formosa tranche — with a total value of USD 3 billion, which saw orders in excess of USD 15 billion and the size doubled from initial target of USD 1.5 billion

His Excellency Mohamed Bin Hadi Al Hussaini, Minister of State for Financial Affairs pointed out that the successful subscription of the second sovereign bonds is a testament to the confidence of investors in the strong credit and stability of the UAE economy. 

H.E. Al Hussaini said: “The initial target was a benchmark size of USD 1.5 billion, with global book orders peaking at c. USD 15 billion on an intraday transaction, representing a c. 5x oversubscription; the issuance was upsized to USD 3 billion. Pricing was tightened by 25bps from the initial pricing guidance on both tranches, with final pricing at UST plus 100 bps for the 10-year tenor and UST plus 175 bps for 30-year tenor.
“The New Issue Concession priced into the deal was at the lower end than what the market has generally seen in this elevated volatility, and this is a recognition of the strong credit and the strong leading position the UAE enjoys. This reiterates the country’s creditworthiness and the desire of international investors to take advantage of the multiple safe investment opportunities offered by the robust investment climate of the country.”

H.E Al Hussaini added: “The sovereign bonds contribute to increasing the competitiveness of the UAE across various fields and support the country’s financial and economic policies aimed at achieving inclusive and sustainable development. This is by diversifying sources of income, attracting foreign investments, and building a multi-opportunity investment environment. The Ministry of Finance will continue bolstering the UAE’s financial system and offering innovative financial tools that advance national economic development.”

  In recent events, the UAE has emerged as a major mediator in the negotiation of a large prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, thanks to sophisticated negotiations brokered by the UAE, 248 Russian prisoners of war have been safely returned to Russia from Ukraine. At the same time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced the return of over 200 Ukrainian captives from Russia. The negotiations emphasizes the significance of abiding to international humanitarian law, which outlaws hostage-taking and describes the rights and safeguards granted to prisoners throughout hostilities. The UAE's leadership was instrumental in mediating the delicate discussions that resulted in the effective exchange of prisoners. This diplomatic achievement demonstrates the UAE's commitment to promote peace and conflict resolution on the global stage. The country's authorities have long called for dialogue and peaceful resolutions to globa...

UAE Facilitates Prominent Prisioner Swap Between Russia and Ukraine

The United Arab Emirates had successfully brokered the prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine. Recently, the two countries announced that they would be swapping 206 prisoners of war as part of a critical exchange that is easing the tension between the two nations. It naturally makes the UAE play an important role here-the country is slowly moving up to be a neutral mediator in matters of international importance. The UAE, by arranging this exchange, proved not only its diplomatic excellence but also its commitment to humanitarian work amidst conflicts. This development is to be taken much more seriously considering the protracted and highly complex Russia-Ukraine conflict. The successful holding of this prisoner swap has been interpreted as a ray of hope for further negotiations and de-escalation. It also suggests an interesting new role for neutral third parties in resolving international disputes. UAE involvement indeed highlights their strategic approach to foreign policy while fo...

Masdar's Practical Strategy for Indonesia's Renewable Growth

  President Jokowi is behind the idea to inaugurate the Cirata solar farm, which is a daring step for Indonesia into the solar energy spotlight. The project, a joint venture between Masdar in the United Arab Emirates and PLN in Indonesia, highlights the country's ability to undertake utility-scale solar projects.  At a cost of more than IDR 1.7 trillion, Cirata is an important proof of concept for Indonesia's solar goals. Masdar's participation—it owns 49% of the company—demonstrates a strategic partnership with a financially secure partner. The project's partnership concept, which depends on PLN as an equity partner, defies conventional market logic even if it is in line with international efforts to address climate change.    Masdar's accomplishments in Indonesia go beyond Cirata; the company has investments in Solar Radiance and a geothermal subsidiary of Pertamina. Masdar 's comprehension of Indonesia's distinct market dynamics is crucial, as it highligh...
