Sharjah Islamic Bank to meet investors for potential dollar benchmark sukuk
DUBAI, March 3 (Reuters) - Sharjah Islamic Bank is planning to meet fixed income investors starting Thursday ahead of a potential U.S. dollar benchmark sukuk issue, a document from lead arrangers showed.
The United Arab Emirates-based bank has picked Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, Al Hilal Bank, Dubai Islamic Bank , Emirates NBD, HSBC, KFH Investment and Standard Chartered to arrange the sukuk sale, it showed.
Benchmark size is traditionally understood to mean upwards of $500 million.
Investor meetings will be held in Asia and Europe, and a transaction will follow subject to market conditions, as per the document.
