He went on to say that KFH-Turkey spearheads this strategy, since it now offers Kuwaitis funding services to acquire real estate in Turkey, in addition to other important services in the Turkish market. He noted that KFH takes significant initiatives in the field of Sukuk, since it is highly demanded in regional and global markets as a convenient source of funding for projects; especially that Sukuk are the Islamic equivalent of bonds.

Al-Khudairi noted that the issuance of sovereign Sukuk worth USD 1.5 billion for the Ministry of Treasury in the United States in collaboration with KFH and Liquidity Management Company, has cemented its role in this promising market, as KFH has taken part in organizing Sukuk issuances worth USD 6 billion in the past period for other governments globally and in the GCC.
