gulfnews : MAF Holding plans bond issue to raise capital

One of the Gulf's largest mall developers and exclusive franchisee of hypermarket chain Carrefour, Majid Al Futtaim (MAF) Holding has taken initial steps towards issuing bonds, a senior executive said yesterday.

The company did not elaborate on its plans for a potential bond sale, but three sources said it was in talks with a small group of banks to discuss the process of issuing debt.

"We have obtained credit ratings as the first step in our preparatory work to raise capital through a bond issue. We will announce further details in due course," said Daniele Vecchi, senior vice-president for group treasury at the firm in a statement to Reuters.
