OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID) is considering issuing its first financial bonds this year in global markets, amounting to one billion dollars, announced the Director General, Abdulhamid al-Khalifa.
Speaking to Asharq Al-Awsat on the sidelines of the Islamic Development Bank Group (IsDB) meeting in Sharm el-Sheikh, Khalifa explained that the Fund could issue low-interest bonds following last year's high credit rating, but it is waiting for international markets to stabilize.
