CEO Meshal Alkathiri told Argaam earlier that the firm will invest 60% of the first tranche proceeds in the real estate sector. Noting that the company owns a building technology factory, the CEO said, "We will make use of the company's production capacity to support the reduction of construction costs by 25-30%, which will help us offer low-cost housing products."

  

He added that 40% of the first tranche proceeds will be used to support the company's core segments, concrete and transportation, which will help the firm reach its targets at the earliest.

 

The CEO referred to Al Kathiri's ability to use the offering proceeds in projects that will generate revenues and profits exceeding the cost of sukuk. This will also boost the company's resilience to pay the sukuk expenses and capital at the end of the period.
