KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 (Bernama) -- Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) has completed the issuance of RM1.8 billion in subordinated Sukuk Murabahah under the RM30.0 billion Sukuk programme.

“Also, funding of Islamic business activity of Maybank’s subsidiaries and overseas branches; and any other Shariah-compliant business activities of the issuer,” it said.
