ReplyDeletePEU Report has gotten alot of traffic the last three days on Dubai World CDS. Dubai World's debt restructuring has an October 1 target date.
ReplyDeleteReuters suggested that UAE sovereign debt would be negatively impacted by a Dubai World default.
The total amount of DW debt stood at $39.9 billion, higher than the widely expected mid-$20 billion range. It seems a high stakes game of chicken is underway between Dubai World's debt holders and the state owned company.
There is an irony on Dubai. They lock up debtors without trial. When Dubai itself goes bust, will they lock themsleves up, or release those in jail for the same alledged offence??
ReplyDeleteAlasdair, great point. Don't forget the UAE Prince who tortured an immigrant for a missing shipment of grain:
