The fifth and final tranche is SR16.9 billion, with a maturity set for 2040.
The transaction reflects continued demand for Saudi sukuk and forms part of the Kingdom's commitment to proactive fiscal planning and sustainable financial policy under Vision 2030.
The Ministry of Finance and NDMC appointed HSBC Saudi Arabia, AlAhli Capital, Al Rajhi Capital, AlJazira Capital, and Alinma Investment as joint lead managers for the issuance.
