According to the release, the total order book reached approximately $37 billion, representing an oversubscription three times the total issuance of $12 billion (SAR 45 billion). The bonds were issued in a triple-tranche offering, with the first tranche totaling $5 billion (SAR 18.75 billion) for a 3-year bond maturing in 2028.
