Of the total corporate sukuk issued globally in 2020, just under 30 percent was issued by companies domiciled in Malaysia. Following this was companies domiciled in Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, with 18.2 and 11.8 percent of the total respectively. This list looks very different to the jurisdiction of corporate sukuk issuers in 2020, which saw smaller wealthy countries like the United Arab Emirates and Qatar much higher on the list.

A "sukuk" is a financial certificate similar to a bond, but structured so as to comply with Islamic religious law (Sharia). The core difference is that a sukuk involves direct ownership in the asset/s the issuer purchases with the funds raised, whereas bonds are indirect debt obligations. Income received by the sukuk holder is therefore income generated by the underlying asset, whereas income from bonds is structured as interest payments.
