Two new mudaraba perpetual bonds -- IBBL 2nd Mudaraba Perpetual Bond and SJIBL Mudaraba Perpetual Bond -- will open for public subscription tomorrow (Sunday).
The subscription through the electronic subscription system of the stock exchanges will continue until December 02, according to Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE).
The Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL) has issued the "IBBL 2nd Mudaraba Perpetual Bond" to raise Tk 8.0 billion while Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited issued the "SJIBL Mudaraba Perpetual Bond" to raise Tk 5.0 billion.
A perpetual bond is a fixed income security with no maturity date and is often considered as a type of equity rather than debt. These types of bonds are not redeemable but provide a never-ending stream of interest payments instead.
The minimum subscription amount is Tk 5,000 and there is no maximum bar for both bonds.
