London Stock Exchange welcomes the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB)

The London Stock Exchange (LSE) today welcomed the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) to open the markets in celebration of the issuance and listing of its €500 million Green Sukuk under the Bank’s enhanced 2025 Sustainable Finance Framework.

The team celebrating on the balcony at LSEG during the welcome ceremony.

Rated Aaa/AAA/AAA by Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch, IsDB is one of the world’s largest multilateral development banks, serving 57 Member Countries across four continents. The Bank has long been a pioneer in the Sukuk market, with more than US$55 billion: issued since its debut in 2003.

The Green Sukuk marks an important milestone for IsDB in the European markets, reinforcing its leadership in sustainable finance and its mission to mobilise responsible finance, asset-based investment for global partners in development. The proceeds will finance and refinance projects in renewable energy, climate resilience, and sustainable food systems, contributing to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Market Open Ceremony was attended by senior representatives of the Islamic Development Bank, the London Stock Exchange, and partner institutions.

This milestone reflects IsDB’s continued commitment to financing the future sustainably, bridging global capital with development impact.

“For the Islamic Development Bank, this is far more than a transaction. It reflects our commitment to mobilising resources and channeling them into projects that improve lives and empower communities through sustainability, environmental stewardship, and good governance.”

H.E. Dr. Muhammad Al Jasser
IsDB President
