Will Emaar issue Sukuk?
By Heba Hashem
30 November 2011
With a decline in its third-quarterprofit of 34%, Emaar can certainly use the proceeds of a Sukuk to refinance its debts and speculation has mounted this week after news reports claimed the developer was on the cusp of issuing an $800m Sukuk.
Three banks - Dubai Islamic Bank,Standard Chartered, and National Bank of Abu Dhabi - are at the front of thegrid as potential arrangers and local media claims that the proposed Sukuk would pay 3.5% above benchmark rate.
The financing, which is expected toinclude a five-year bullet loan and an eight-year amortizing facility, would bebacked by Emaar 's Dubai Mall.
Meanwhile,Dubai developer Nakheel is also considering issuing a second tranche on itsSukuk. The first tranche of $1bn was issued in August, a day after the companyannounced completion of its $16bn restructuring program, while the second isestimated at $272m. The Sukuk carries a 10% coupon.
