Dubai goes bust - main investment fund seeks debt payment delay

The government-owned investment company behind Dubai’s rapid development drive has asked its creditors for a six-month delay on repaying its debts.

Dubai World, which has total debts of $59bn (£35bn), is asking creditors if it can postpone its forthcoming payments until May next year.

Dubai World has also appointed global accountancy group Deloitte to help with its financial restructuring.

The company has been hit hard by the global credit crunch and recession.

It was due to repay $3.5bn of its debts next month.

The malaise has also affected Dubai as a whole, where, following six years of rapid growth, the economy has slumped since the second half of 2008.

This has led to Dubai property prices falling sharply.

“Now I know some of you have already heard of me, but for the benefit of those who are unfamiliar, let me explain how I teach. Between today until the class right before finals, it is my intention to work into each of my lectures … one lie. Your job, as students, among other things, is to try and catch me in the Lie of the Day.”

And thus began our ten-week course…

Santa Monica? I think not.

Just guessing on Santa Monica, because that’s where they said they test flew this plane. I’m open to other suggestions…..

Well, considering that’s the Chrysler Building behind its right wing, I’m going to go with NYC.
