Publication Of The AMF Position Regarding The Admission To Listing Of Islamic Bonds (Sukuk) On A French Regulated Market

Date 02/07/2008

The growth of the Islamic finance market in recent years has prompted applications from some issuers to list sukuk bonds on the Paris market. The AMF therefore asked Board Member Dominique Hoenn to lead a working group, which includes industry representatives, in order to examine the specific characteristics of these bonds in light of the Prospectus Directive. The aim is to give market participants a clear picture of the legal and transparency requirements for listing these securities in France.
