Al-Shiddi said that Samba Financial Group and the commercial bank are considered the two most reputable financial institutions in the Gulf.
Al-Shiddi said that $100 million are going to be provided by the bank while Samba would pay the rest $180 million. The payment is going to be mostly in US dollars due to its low cost of financing for the American currency.
