- The facility features five-year and seven-year tenors, with Mizuho Bank Ltd. acting as underwriter and proceeds allocated to working capital and general corporate purposes.

Loan structure and funding purpose
As first reported by Bloomberg, Emirates NBD Bank PJSC is marketing a syndicated loan with a base size of $500 million and an option to raise a further $500 million.The facility has five-year and seven-year tenors, and Mizuho Bank Ltd. is acting as underwriter on the deal. The proceeds are intended for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Regional financing confidence holds
Dubai's biggest bank by assets is approaching Asian lenders at a time when Gulf borrowers are increasingly looking east for financing. The move signals that access to regional liquidity remains available for major issuers despite continued geopolitical tension linked to the Iran war.The planned borrowing also reflects how large Gulf financial institutions are broadening their funding channels beyond traditional markets. For lenders in Asia, the transaction offers exposure to one of Dubai's largest banking groups through a multi-year syndicated facility.
In our earlier coverage of geopolitical shocks and refinancing strain, we discussed how persistent conflicts and elevated fiscal spending are increasing borrowing risks as global funding costs stay high. We also noted that emerging and frontier markets are particularly exposed because debt-servicing burdens tend to be heavy relative to narrower revenue bases, while war-driven energy and food price pressures complicate inflation and credit outlooks.
