Dubai – Mubasher: Nasdaq Dubai has celebrated the listing of five-year $500 million sukuk by Dar Alarkan Real Estate Development Company.

Oversubscribed by two times, the new sukuk will boost Dar Al-Arkan’s investments and real estate activities across Saudi Arabia, along with its international expansion, according to a bourse statement released on Sunday.
