- A dollar-denominated Islamic bond issued by the Maldives rose nearly 2 cents to hit 13-month high on Monday after key creditor India announced a new credit line and free trade talks late last week.

The Indian Ocean archipelago is struggling to manage its debt, and India is a key bilateral lender, alongside China.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a $565-million credit line and launched free trade talks during a two-day visit late last week.

By Monday afternoon, the sukuk had gained just under two cents to bid at 92.70 cents on the dollar, its highest level since June 2024.
