Saudi Arabia Launches April 'Sah' Sukuk with 4.5% Return
Saudi Arabia has opened subscriptions for its April retail 'Sah' savings sukuk, offering a fixed annual return of 4.50 percent. The one-year instrument aims to deepen household savings and broaden retail participation in the Kingdom's financial markets. The subscription window runs from April 5 to April 7 through approved digital channels of accredited financial institutions. Investors can subscribe with a minimum of SR1,000 ($266) per sukuk, up to a maximum allocation of SR200,000. This issuance follows previous rounds under the Sah program, which have seen strong demand from individual investors. The initiative is part of broader efforts to strengthen domestic savings and support fiscal funding strategies. The move comes amid continued confidence in Saudi Arabia's economic outlook, reinforced by Fitch Ratings' recent affirmation of the Kingdom's A+ sovereign rating.
