(Reuters) - French lender Credit Agricole (CAGR.PA) is considering either issuing an Islamic bond or creating a wider sukuk program that could lead to several issues, as European banks seek to diversify funding, a senior executive said on Thursday.
"It's something that we're always looking at but it's probably more on the agenda today than yesterday because banks need to diversify funding," Simon Eedle, managing director and global head of Islamic banking, told the Reuters Middle East Investment Summit. (source)
