Global Sukuk issuance likely to rise at slow pace in 2023 amid volatilities

Sukuk issuance from the core markets (including multilaterals) in 2022 fell 7.9% to USD244.3 billion versus a year ago. This was due to higher oil prices (2023 forecast: USD85/barrel), rising rates (US policy rate 2023 forecast: 5%), and geopolitical drivers.
