“It allows investors to participate in the bank’s profit-sharing ventures, and underscores TAJBank’s commitment to expanding access to innovative financial solutions and promoting financial inclusion in the country,” he said.
Joda said that the Mudarabah Sukuk was open to all investors, both individuals and corporates. According to him, the goal is to provide a reliable source of extra income, accessible from the comfort of homes.
“We are excited to bring this Mudarabah Sukuk to the market, offering a compelling investment opportunity that aligns with ethical financial principles.
