  1. MENA Daily Fixed Income Report – 3 December 2020 Kuwait Financial Centre “Markaz” News Updates Tadawul, IHS Markit develop local currency Sukuk indices – The Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) has developed, in collaboration with IHS Markit, a broader local currency-denominated benchmark index, iBoxx Tadawul SAR Government Sukuk & Bond Index, and iBoxx Tadawul SAR Government Sukuk Index Series, which is divided into maturity subindices. The indices provide transparency to the Saudi local currency and Saudi Government Sukuk and Bond market performance, Tadawul said in a recent statement. As part of the primary tools of active and passive investment managers, these indices can be used by dealer banks, ETF issuers, buy-side investment firms, and third-party vendors to benchmark portfolio performance and risk. (Source: Mubasher) PIF-backed Saudi Real Estate Refinance plans debut bond issue – Saudi Real Estate Refinance Company (SRC) will tap international debt markets for a debut $500 million dollar-denominated bond early next year, to fund the growth of its loan book, its chief executive said. The company, founded three years ago to support a domestic market for home loans, will also tap the local sukuk market with a one-year, 10 billion riyals ($2.7 billion) guaranteed bond issue programme before its international foray, Fabrice Susini told The National. “We will target around $500m for the first international issuance, probably not below. It could be a bit more. We'll see. It will depend … on the situation in the market at that time,” Mr Susini said. SRC is also planning to enter into the structured finance market next year, either through a securitisation of some of its loan book or issuance of a covered bond as the company looks to diversify its funding sources.

Fitch has also affirmed the'BB+' unsecured rating and 'BB+' rating of the sukuk trust certificates issued through Arabian Centres Sukuk Limited (ACSL). The ratings reflect the company's competitive position as the largest retail real estate company in Saudi Arabia (KSA), owning and operating a portfolio of 21 retail malls in the most populous cities of the country, while also considering asset concentration, a front-loaded lease maturity profile and a high exposure to related-party tenants and transactions. The Negative Outlook reflects exposure to the nascent KSA retail market, which continues to be affected by an economic slowdown, a tripling of VAT, which may impact consumer spending, and most recently, COVID-19. In addition, the company's rental income is vulnerable due to a short-term lease profile and potential downward pressure from relatedparties.
