[RIYADH] State-controlled utility Saudi Electricity Co is in talks with regional and international banks about making a US dollar-denominated sukuk issue, banking sources said on Monday.
The new issue is likely to exceed US$1 billion in size, said one of the sources. A company spokesman did not reply to a request for comment.
