Sukuk fever reaches Sokor

From the Middle East to London, to New York, and now to South Korea.

Like a freight train, the sukuk’s popularity is unstoppable, merely taking station stops, which for now is in South Korea.

This is after Malaysia's RHB Investment Bank announced that it will launch a $139.5 million-$279.1 million Islamic bond issue for South Korean oil firm GS Caltex next month.

"We have seen quite a bit of interest for the sukuk already, from the Middle East, London and New York," the bank's managing director Chay Wai Leong was quoted as saying by the Edge Financial Daily.

Leong said that the issuance would be a multi-currency sukuk.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
