Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – 9 July 2026 – Saudi Real Estate Refinance Company (SRC), a PIF company, announced the successful pricing of its third international issuance of sukuk guaranteed by the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with an aggregate value of USD 2.75 billion. The issuance comprises two tranches: a USD 1.25 billion tranche with a 5.5-year tenor and a USD 1.50 billion tranche with a 10-year tenor.
The issuance attracted strong demand from regional and international institutional investors, with the 6.8x oversubscription driven primarily by international investors. The strong demand reflects robust investor confidence in Saudi debt instruments and reinforces SRC’s position as a regular and trusted issuer in the international capital markets.

The Company successfully completed its inaugural issuance under the programme, raising USD 2 billion across two tranches with 3-year and 10-year maturities. Later that year, SRC completed a second issuance of USD 2.5 billion, also across two tranches with 3.5-year and 10-year maturities.
