The Islamic Corporation for the Insurance of Investment and Export Credit (SIACE) has published its 2025 Annual Development Effectiveness Report (ADER), entitled: “Anchoring Sustainability: Boosting Trade, Investment, and Development Impact in a Resilient Manner”. The document was made public on the sidelines of the 2026 Annual Meetings of the Islamic Development Bank Group (IDB), held in Baku, Azerbaijan, from June 16 to 19, 2026.
The report provides evidence-based analysis of how Sharia-compliant credit insurance and political risk coverage solutions deployed by SIACE contribute to transforming risk management into tangible development outcomes in member countries. It highlights their role in strengthening economic resilience, financial inclusion, private sector growth, and human development. ADER 2025 marks the ninth edition of SIACE’s flagship report dedicated to evaluating its impact and institutional performance.
$1.9 billion mobilized in Islamic trade and investment in 2025
In 2025, SIACE’s interventions produced significant results in several key areas. Islamic trade and investment financing reached $1.9 billion, 3.5 times the level recorded the previous year, illustrating the institution’s growing role in structuring Sharia-compliant financial solutions to support trade and capital mobilization in its member states.
The report also highlights SIACE’s impact on private sector development. In 2025, supported operations helped 6,000 small and medium enterprises (SMEs), an 84% increase from 2024. This momentum contributes to expanding access to financing for businesses essential for job creation, innovation, and economic diversification.
More than 294,000 jobs supported in 2025
Human development remains a central focus of SIACE’s interventions. In 2025, supported transactions contributed to the maintenance or creation of over 294,000 jobs, a 144% increase from 2024.
Additionally, $889 million was mobilized to facilitate access to essential goods and services, particularly in areas such as food security, energy, health, and other basic services, thereby strengthening the social stability and economic resilience of beneficiary countries.
With a cumulative volume of $138.9 billion in insured trade and investments since its inception, SIACE reaffirms, through this report, its commitment to transparency, accountability, and sustainable impact on development in its member states.
As a Sharia-compliant multilateral institution, SIACE specializes in export credit insurance and political risk coverage. It is an integral part of the Islamic Development Bank Group.
