Revenues from the Integrated Logistics segment increased to $2,281 million (AED8,377 million), up 40 percent in FY 2023.

Royal HaskoningDHV's South Africa arm rebrands as Atana

The South African arm of Netherlands-based engineering consultancy Royal HaskoningDHV has rebranded as Atana. The rebrand is the result of a group of, mostly, South African engineering professionals who bought a controlling margin of the consultancy in SA. The group – management and employees of the company – now owns 74% of what was Royal HaskoningDHV South Africa, with the Dutch business retaining 26% ownership. The South African operation of Haskoning became an independent company, owned by employees and local management on 29 February 2024. 'This means that Atana is an independent, majority African-owned firm whose autonomy is a significant competitive advantage across the African continent, allowing it to be more responsive to local market demands,' says Atana CEO Anke Mastenbroek. Atana is a level one broad-based black economic empowerment (B-BBEE) company. 'Our rebrand as Atana highlights our strong focus on the pan-African market while building on 103 years of experience,' says Mastenbroek. The South African company remains Haskoning's (formerly Royal HaskoningDHV) strategic partner in Africa and some of its practice areas will continue to deliver on global projects, specifically Atana's data centre, light industry, climate resilience and aviation divisions. 'Atana is filled with talented people committed to doing challenging work that makes a difference to South Africa, Africa and the globe. We want a world that is better, fairer and greener, so that everyone enjoys a more resilient society,' she says. The company that later became Royal HaskoningDHV South Africa was founded in Johannesburg in 1922 as Stewart Scott International. It gained significant international expertise when DHV Group acquired a majority shareholding in 2006. In 2012, DHV and Royal Haskoning merged and became Royal HaskoningDHV South Africa. 'Now, as Atana, we are enthusiastically returning to our African roots,' says Mastenbroek. The name Atana is inspired by the Shona word zvakabatana, which means 'closely connected' . Atana's level 1 B-BBEE status demonstrates its commitment to fostering transformation throughout its operations, says Mastenbroek. 'Transformation at Atana is not a symbol; it's a shift that's meaningful, measurable and mission-led. Atana is built on empowerment, inclusion and impactful participation in South Africa's and Africa's economic future.'

Outlook good for foreign currency sukuk issuances: S&P Global Ratings report

8 July 2025 19:23 A. SREENIVASA REDDY (ABU DHABI)Global sukuk issuance remained resilient in the first half of 2025 despite heightened geopolitical tensions and volatility in international capital markets, according to a new report by S&P Global Ratings. The total volume of sukuk issued fell by nearly 15% to $101.3 billion in first half of 2025 compared to $119 billion in the same period last year, driven by a notable decline in local currency-denominated issuance. However, foreign currency sukuk gained momentum, rising to $41.4 billion in H1 2025, from $38 billion a year earlier.S&P forecasts that foreign currency-denominated sukuk issuance will remain strong in the second half of 2025, with full-year volumes expected to reach between $70 billion and $80 billion. "The growth has been supported by significant financing needs in core Islamic finance markets, particularly the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait, where issuers tapped favourable market windows amid ongoing economic growth and fiscal deficits,' the S&P Ratings said. 'In the UAE, where we observed a significant increase in the volume of issuances, banks and corporates tapped the market to finance growth amid a still-supportive economy. In Malaysia, the International Islamic Liquidity Management Corp. continued to tap the market, providing the industry with much-needed liquidity management instruments and contributing to the bulk of the country's foreign currency issuances,' the S&P report said. In contrast, local currency sukuk issuance dropped to $59.8 billion at midyear, down from $81 billion in 2024. This decline was attributed to subdued liquidity conditions and reduced financing needs in several key markets, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and report also highlighted uncertainty surrounding the future of AAOIFI's Standard 62, a proposed amendment that could impact sukuk structuring. The timeline for implementation remains unclear, and S&P noted that the perceived urgency among issuers to issue before the standard's adoption has diminished. 'Questions linger over whether the standard will mandate effective asset ownership transfer to investors, which could alter the risk profile of sukuk and potentially disadvantage holders of unsecured instruments,' the report sustainable sukuk experienced robust growth, with issuance volume rising 27% year-on-year to $9.3 billion in the first half of 2025 from $7.4 billion in H1, 2024. Banks, particularly the Islamic Development Bank, contributed nearly half of this activity, with Saudi Arabian issuers accounting for over 60% of the sustainable sukuk market. Driven by strong demand and alignment between Islamic finance and sustainability principles, S&P raised its full-year forecast for sustainable sukuk issuance to between $14 billion and $16 billion. The outlook for the second half of 2025 remains positive, supported by expectations of a 50-basis-point interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve and a stable geopolitical scenario that avoids full-scale regional conflict.
