DUBAI, March 20 (Reuters) - The Islamic Development Bank has appointed banks for a potential U.S. dollar-denominated sukuk issue, banking sources said on Monday.
The Jeddah-headquartered financial institution has appointed eight banks to lead the transaction, one of the sources said. The group includes Emirates NBD, Goldman Sachs, Gulf International Bank, HSBC and Standard Chartered.
IDB officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
The triple A rated sharia-compliant lender issued a $1.25 billion sukuk last November. That sale was arranged by Boubyan Bank, Credit Agricole, Gulf International Bank, JP Morgan, Mizuho, Natixis, NBAD, RHB and Standard Chartered.
