Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, the second-biggest Shariah-compliant lender in the UAE, may consider selling sukuk by the end of this year, Chief Executive Officer Tirad Mahmoud said.

A decision on the Islamic bond sale will be taken by September, he said at a conference in Abu Dhabi today. The bank is studying whether to refinance or repay a $800 million (Dh 2.93 billion) sukuk maturing this year, he said.
