#Dubai’s Meydan raises Dhs 1bn Islamic financing
Dubai’s Meydan Group has obtained Dhs 1bn ($272m) of Islamic financing partly through an issue of Islamic bonds and partly from a term financing facility. The money will help to strengthen Meydan’s capital structure, diversify its investor base and support new projects. Despite the regional economic slowdown Dubai is continuing to invest heavily in its tourism and real estate industries. Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank coordinated and structured Meydan’s financing. Three other UAE banks – Al Hilal Bank, Sharjah Islamic Bank and Ajman Bank – were also involved.
