In a surprise move oil rich ?Abu Dhabi has bailed out Dubai with $10 billion. ?The terms of the funding are not being released but the funding relates to Dubai’s flagship?investment?company ?Dubai World. Dubai World manages and supervises a portfolio of businesses and projects for the?Dubai?government across a wide range of industry segments and projects that promote Dubai as a hub for commerce and trading.
Dubai is now rushing to reform its bankrupcy laws in the event that Dubai World needs protection from its creditors.
I find it very interesting how quickly the fate of flashy Dubai have turned so fast. A large amount of Dubai’s growth has been funded by cheap cash which has now dried up so there is certainly changes ahead.
