Pricing for the five-year sukuk has been earmarked to be in the area of 245 basis points over midswaps, according to the document.

Benchmark size is usually understood to mean in excess of $500 million.

DIB chose seven banks to arrange meetings with fixed income investors in London on Monday, ahead of the possible sukuk issue, it was announced last week.
