In a landmark move for Islamic finance, Sharjah Islamic Bank (SIB) has successfully listed a $500 million Additional Tier 1 (AT1) sukuk on Nasdaq Dubai, further cementing the exchange's position as a global hub for Sharia-compliant securities.

This strategic listing marks SIB's fifth sukuk offering on the exchange, bringing its total outstanding listings to an impressive $2.5 billion.

The offering garnered substantial interest from both regional and international investors, providing Sharjah Islamic Bank with additional capital to support its ambitious expansion plans.

The listing was commemorated by Ahmed Saad, Deputy CEO of Sharjah Islamic Bank, who rang the market opening bell at Nasdaq Dubai alongside Hamed Ali, CEO of both Nasdaq Dubai and Dubai Financial Market (DFM).

Planning to Buy Property in Dubai? These Five Costs Could Stretch Your Budget

税理士料金の相場｜個人事業主と法人でどう違う？

税理士に依頼する際、最も気になるのが料金の相場です。しかし、個人事業主と法人では、依頼内容や業務量が異なるため、単純な比較はできません。個人事業主の場合、確定申告のみを依頼するケースが多く、料金は比較的シンプルです。売上規模や記帳の有無によって費用は変わりますが、業務範囲が限定されている分、全体の負担は抑えやすい傾向があります。一方、法人では決算・申告に加えて、月次の確認や経営に関する相談が発生することも多くなります。そのため、料金も個人事業主より高くなるケースが一般的です。大切なのは、**金額そのものではなく「何が含まれているか」**です。業務内容を確認せずに契約すると、「思っていたサポートが含まれていなかった」ということにもなりかねません。自分の事業フェーズに合った関わり方を選ぶことが、結果的にコストと安心感のバランスを取ることにつながります。
