In 2015, Gordon led UKEF through its first Shariah compliant sukuk bond – a first for any export credit agency – which was not only three times oversubscribed, but also created history as it represented the largest ever ECA guaranteed debt capital markets offering in the aviation sector. It was also the first time a sukuk had been issued to raise finance for aircraft prior to their delivery.
