Dubai debt move 'carefully planned': top official

Nice move. Roll it out at the start of the largest American holiday, let the world markets respond, then wait to see how the U.S. market responds the following day before everything closes for the weekend. Gotta hand it to them, it was clearly well thought out. (the announcement strategy, not the original investments made in the first place...)

---------
Dubai's move to suspend payments on its Dubai World conglomerate's debt was "carefully planned" and done in full knowledge of how the markets would react, the chairman of the Supreme Fiscal Committee said on Thursday.

"Our intervention in Dubai World was carefully planned and reflects its specific financial position," Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum said in a statement.

"The government is spearheading the restructuring of this commercial operation in the full knowledge of how the markets would react. We understand the concerns of the market and the creditors in particular.

"However we have had to intervene because of the need to take decisive action to address its particular debt burden."

However, Sheikh Ahmed insisted that "unprecedented growth, in Dubai and across the (United Arab Emirates), over the past decade has helped lay the foundation for what is now a broad-based sustainable economy beyond just natural resources."

Huge Dubai debt shock rattles world markets

Hmmm...this might be good for us after all...

DEBT problems in Dubai struck financial markets hard yesterday, sinking global stocks, lifting safe- haven bonds and driving the dollar higher.

European shares had their worst daily loss in seven months. Gold climbed to a new record high but fell back as the dollar rose.



Interesting article...

The tree-shaped island is eroding into the Gulf, the world's tallest building ( Burj Dubai hotel ) sits empty near the end of construction, foreign nationals are being scurried away out of their labor jobs by the hundreds of thousands, Dubai World is a frightful drain on the one resource they sell ( energy ), and $60 Billion in debt can't be serviced. "How can we spin that"?

Um.... maybe they could all convert to Christianity and then go on the "Mother Of All Shopping Sprees" ?
