Saudi Arabia Offers New Saudi Savings Sukuk with 4.83% Return

Saudi Arabia has launched a new Saudi savings sukuk for investors. It offers a 4.83 percent annual return. However, this rate is slightly lower than the previous offering.

The subscription period opens in the morning and closes a few days later. During this time, investors can join through approved platforms. Then, the government allocates the sukuk. After that, investors can redeem and receive payments on time. Therefore, the process is simple and clear.

The Saudi savings sukuk is part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 plan. In addition, the government wants to raise the national savings rate to 10 percent. Currently, the rate is about six percent. Furthermore, the sukuk provides Shariah-compliant investment opportunities for citizens.

Saudi citizens aged 18 and above can subscribe. The minimum investment is SR1,000, while the maximum is SR200,000. Also, people can invest through trusted platforms like Al-Rajhi Capital, SNB Capital, and Alinma Investment. These platforms make subscribing safe and easy.

Unlike conventional bonds, the Saudi savings sukuk follows Islamic rules. In addition, it gives fixed returns at redemption. There are no fees, and the risk is low. Moreover, returns link to market rates, which helps investors plan confidently.

Previously, the government completed subscriptions for another issuance. For example, it divided funds into five groups with different maturity dates. This allowed investors to choose the option that suits them. Meanwhile, the government used this plan to expand the local sukuk program.

The Saudi savings sukuk also improves financial inclusion. In addition, it gives citizens an easy and safe way to save money while following Islamic rules. Furthermore, it provides more investment options and supports financial growth.

Investors benefit from a clear process. They subscribe, get allocation, redeem on time, and receive payments quickly. Therefore, the sukuk is a reliable and attractive savings tool.

Overall, Saudi Arabia shows strong support for savings and inclusion. The Saudi savings sukuk gives citizens a safe way to invest, save money, and grow wealth.
