Notes

Figures aggregate primary sukuk issuance across Asia-Pacific markets, split by issuing country and by underlying structure. Country and structure detail beyond the top four series is folded into “Other” in the charts — the table above carries the full country list. The most recent year may be a partial-year figure until annual disclosures are published.

Note: figures are curated aggregates derived from public IIFM Sukuk Report, MIFC, BNM, DJPPR and SBP disclosures, and inherit any fetch caveats recorded by the Sukuk network dataset in meta.errors.
