Emirates NBD, a prominent banking group in the MENAT region, successfully closed $2.25B in long-term financing.
The bank’s financing comprised a $1.75B five-year sustainability-linked syndicated term loan and a $500M five-year Club Commodity Murabaha term facility. This transaction represents one of the largest syndicated borrowings in the GCC, with the sustainability-linked loan being oversubscribed over twofold from its initial $1B.
The strong demand for this financing highlights global investor confidence in Emirates NBD’s credit strength, bolstered by a solid balance sheet and disciplined financial management.
Notably, the loan achieved the tightest pricing in the bank’s history for a syndicated loan, alongside an extended tenor, effectively enhancing liquidity, diversifying funding sources, and providing long-term USD resources to support strategic growth.
The $500M Club Commodity Murabaha term facility, arranged through Emirates Islamic, also secured competitive pricing among regional Islamic peers. This financing builds on Emirates NBD’s strong capital markets performance and follows the successful completion of a $750M seven-year Asian financing earlier this year.
The transaction attracted participation from 15 financial institutions across various global regions, reinforcing Emirates NBD’s established presence in international loan markets and reflecting ongoing confidence in the UAE’s economic resilience.
Key coordinators for the transaction included Bank of America, BNP Paribas, and DBS Bank Limited, among others.
