Cagamas Berhad, the National Mortgage Corporation of Malaysia, has published its first-ever scheduled issuance calendar to provide investors with greater visibility and certainty about the company’s fundraising activities.
The 2026 Issuance Calendar, available on the company's website, sets out an indicative schedule of planned benchmark issuances throughout the year, with February as target month in the first quarter, May in Q2, July in Q3, and October in Q4. Cagamas says the proactive measure underscores its commitment to transparency and strengthening investor confidence. It aims to enable market participants to better align their strategies with the company’s fundraising activities.
“By sharing an indicative schedule, we aim to drive more effective liquidity and investment planning among current and prospective instrument holders,” Cagamas president and chief executive officer Encik Kameel Abdul Halim says in a statement.
The calendar is indicative only, and Cagamas may elect to forego any scheduled issuances depending on prevailing market conditions. The company also says it may continue to make unscheduled fundraising announcements for its ongoing fundraising activities, as necessary.
The publication follows a record-breaking year in 2025, during which Cagamas raised a total of 31.3 billion ringgit ( US$7.72 billion ) through bonds, sukuk, financing facilities, and other financial instruments, despite global headwinds marked by financial market volatility, geopolitical tensions, and monetary policy shifts.
This includes 10.2 billion ringgit from bonds, 17.6 billion ringgit from sukuk, and 3.5 billion ringgit from other alternative avenues. International markets continued to be a viable funding option for the company with 4.5 billion ringgit equivalent raised via foreign currency issuances, broadening access to diverse liquidity sources.
“Our achievement of 31.3 billion ringgit in total funds raised in 2025 is evidence of our pivotal position within the nation’s financial ecosystem and reflects our commitment to being Malaysia’s preferred liquidity provider and investment of choice. As global uncertainties persist, Cagamas will continue to innovate and lead in shaping the development of Malaysia’s debt capital markets, driving resilience and creating opportunities that benefit all stakeholders,” adds Encik Kameel.
In line with its sustainability agenda, Cagamas raised 1.8 billion ringgit in sustainability-related instruments, including its inaugural 200 million ringgit Asean social sustainable and responsible investment ( SRI ) sukuk variable rate notes. According to Cagamas, this landmark issuance represents a significant milestone in Malaysia’s sustainable finance landscape and demonstrates the company’s commitment to integrating responsible investment principles with innovative Islamic finance solutions.
