A top finance official in Dubai says the emirate’s government will not guarantee the debts of the heavily-indebted, state-owned conglomerate Dubai World.
Stock markets in Dubai and other parts of the United Arab Emirates plunged Monday, with investors concerned about Dubai’s ability to pay back $59 billion in debt.
The Dubai market dropped 7.3 percent while Abu Dhabi’s index tumbled 8.3 percent.
The director general of Dubai’s Finance Department, says lenders bear some responsibility for the current crisis. He says they lent money based on their assessment of the firm’s projects, not because of government guarantees.
The official says while Dubai owns Dubai World, it has been known since the conglomerate was established that it was independent and not guaranteed by the government.
