Nasdaq Dubai has welcomed the listing of a new $1 billion conventional bond by Emirates NBD, Dubai's biggest bank.

Emirates NBD is the largest issuer of conventional bonds on Nasdaq Dubai with a total nominal value of $5.28 billion from eight listings.

The total value of all conventional bonds and sukuk on Nasdaq Dubai has now reached $77.28 billion.
