Five years after Dubai mortgage provider Tamweel stopped lending amid the emirate's real estate crash, the company's Islamic bonds are beating peers as the property market rebounds.

Tamweel's sukuk maturing in January 2017 returned 5.5 per cent this year, the most among the 23 securities in the HSBC/Nasdaq Dubai GCC Financial Services Sukuk Index.

The benchmark gauge, which includes debt from the United Arab Emirates to Saudi Arabia, has gained 2.1 per cent in the period.

A rebound in real-estate prices spurred by the economic recovery in the Gulf business hub has boosted UAE bank lending by 7.2 per cent this year as property prices climbed an annual 40 per cent. Tamweel, which was taken over by Dubai Islamic Bank in 2010, has benefited as its new owner provided a source of financing.

"Tamweel has been a turnaround story and a way to gain exposure to a recovering Dubai real-estate market," Yaser Abushaban, the executive director for asset management at Dubai-based Emirates Investment Bank, said in an e-mailed response to questions November 28.
