Sukuk is a proportional representation of ownership of an asset for a certain period of time with risksand returns associated with cash flow through underlying asset in the hand of investors. This paper describes the overview of the role of sukuk in infrastructure financing in Indonesia. Sukuk has played a significant role for infrastructure development in Indonesia. Indonesia’s infrastructure budget allocation gradually increased. A number of projects listed in the Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara (APBN) are selected specially financed by sukuk. Since the issuance of project financing sukuk has doubled until this year. This is an important concern for the government that sukuk turned out to be an important financial instrument in Indonesia’s infrastructure development.
