With an order volume of $4.5 billion, the Bank issued Sukuk worth $1.5 billion with a total profit of $1.7 billion.
Muhammad Al-Jasser, IDB’s President said, “The transmission from fossil to renewable energy requires massive investment, so we’ve seen the announcement of a banking alliance to provide $130 trillion in funding to the sector.”
IDB is keen to provide funds with other international institutions in assisting the shift towards renewable energy.
