Saudi Arabia’s Middle East Healthcare Company, the firm overseeing Saudi German Hospitals, has disclosed plans to issue $400M sukuk through a public offering. This move is part of the company’s 1.5 billion riyals ($400 million) debt program, approved by the kingdom’s Capital Market Authority late last year.
According to the company’s recent statement, market conditions will influence the issuance of riyal-denominated Islamic bonds, with the specific amount determined later. Middle East Healthcare, listed on Riyadh’s Tadawul exchange, plans a strategic financial move by issuing sukuk in SAR1,000 denominations, with the proceeds earmarked for general corporate purposes.
