KUWAIT: Kuwait Finance House (KFH), the country’s biggest Islamic lender, said it signed a US$242 million (US$1 = RM3.42) real estate deal in Chicago.

KFH owns 95 per cent of the project, the remaining 5 per cent is owned by Prism Co.

“KFH will focus on income producing assets with attractive yields and guaranteed occupancy levels,” it said.
