The fund manager said in a bourse statement that the contract is applicable to a corpus of SAR 240 million (representing 49% of the total facility granted to the fund).
Additionally, the contract will reduce the risks related to interest rates volatility on a tranche of the facility granted to the fund until Oct. 16, 2023.
