Dubai’s Shariah-compliant Noor Bank posted a net profit of Dh451 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of 43 per cent from the same period last year.

The Bank successfully issued its inaugural $500 million five-year Sukuk during this year in order to achieve diversification of funding mix and improve its liability maturity profile.
