SINGAPORE (Dow Jones)--Malaysia's government aims to price its proposed two-tranche dollar-denominated Islamic bond as early as Tuesday, according to a term sheet.

The sovereign issuer is seeking to pay a spread of around 160 basis points over the comparable U.S. Treasury yield for a five-year bond, and 20 basis points on top of the yield on the 5-year tranche for a 10-year bond.

CIMB, Citigroup , HSBC and Maybank are bookrunners for the benchmark-size global sukuk.

The sovereign wrapped up a global roadshow in New York on Monday, after meeting investors in Hong Kong, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh and London.

The proposed bonds have an expected rating of A- from Standard & Poor's and A3 from Moody's Investors Service.
