Dubai Islamic Bank in sharia-compliant REIT joint venture | Reuters

Dubai Islamic Bank (DISB.DU) (DIB) launched the emirate's first sharia-compliant real estate investment trust to aid in the recovery of the country's battered real estate sector, top executives said on Tuesday.

Emirates REIT, a joint venture between DIB and French property firm Eiffel Management, looks to attract sharia-compliant property such as office buildings, warehouses, schools and car parks and convert the rental income into dividends for investors, said Adnan Chilwan, chief of retail banking at DIB.

80 percent of the REIT's annual profit will be distributed to shareholders as a dividend."
