Bank of Sharjah was appointed as sole lead manager and arranger for the issuance.
"The securities were issued under the Sharjah Liquidity Support Mechanism, a framework initiated by the government to enhance liquidity for the Sharjah banking system, and in co-operation with the Targeted Economic Support Scheme (Tess) of the Central Bank of the UAE," said the statement.
The certificates will pay a profit rate of 1.5 per cent and mature in May 2021.
Sharjah also listed $200 million sukuk on Nasdaq Dubai in March 2020.
S&P Global Ratings lowered Sharjah's outlook to negative last month and affirmed its long-term rating at BBB, the second-lowest investment grade.
Moody's Investors Service has projected that sovereign sukuk issuances will reach $75 billion in 2020 as compared to $71 billion last year, an increase of six per cent. The sovereigns will need more funds through sukuks amidst low oil prices and fall in revenues due to coronavirus pandemic.
