OBVIOUSLY no one is wrong

The immovable object meets the irresistable force. Oh hang on, just spotted the flaw - its the lobotomised monkeys in the bank.

Bye bye boys ....

Wot happened at Arabian Business WAS an exercise in free speech. The call to the Ministry of Good News was FREE, the ride to the station was FREE, 3 nights detention, yup you guessed it, FREE

Thanks.

Why does it take someone like razamatwat to stomp over a compliment ? Yes charity should happen all year round, but it doesn't yet when it does it should be acknowledged without someone like you trying deperately trying to steal the show. Sod off back to your hole in the sand, lizard. Are you French ?

http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20090820-705523.html DUBAI (Zawya Dow Jones)--Government-owned Dubai World holds almost $60 billion in liabilities on its balance sheet, raising concerns that the sheikdom's debts may be far greater than initially thought, recent figures show.

This goes some way to backing up what I "mentioned" earlier to SH - the real figures that dictate what happens in and to Dubai are starting to come out. Getting here has been like drawing crocodiles teeth, and represents a huge step forward, transparency at the end of a sword (?) Sure only...

1. Dubai does not have a central bank - that sits in AD and is Federal not commercial 2. Nakheel & DPWorld as recently clarified are Public Joint Stock Companies - that is they have issued shares, technically available to the public but in the case of Nakheel they have not listed - so there migh...

Take a look at what ICD (Investment Corporation of Dubai) holds & technically thats where DW should sit. (Thats what we class as .gov entities) then DW could be classed differently, but don't expect an easy transition. For example they can't even shift Limitless under Nakheel at the moment

The reported debt figure was $80bn Abu Dhabi issued a $10bn loan to be followed by another $10bn ($20bn total) This covered public sector services (Police - hospitals ... mentioned by SH in another thread) and was used to cover only the debt servicing requirements of "government" companies...

So for the benefit of those not familiar with the system, 2 women = 1 man ?

How many Austrian midgets = 1 man ? Does a maid count as a whole woman or is that automatic disqualification ?

Liabilities for Dubai Holdings = $46.7bn
[Figure from Nasdaq disclosure]

+ Dubai World ($59.1) = $105.8bn

Add the Dxb bond = $128.8bn

Anyone got a lead on Emirates liabilities ? You see where this is going, Dubai's liabilities are almost equal to the total GDP of the UAE on its own!

His autobiography would undoubtably be interesting - but come on this is hardly the tale of a self made man ! How many individuals out there with access to the income stream of Saudi Arabia would have performed better ? Quite a few I guess. "His" investment strategy of getting in on establ...

Can't disagree with a single thing that SH has to say (must be hung over!) Perhaps looking at it from a different perspective might shed light from another angle on the subject. T shirts such as the one mentioned, in western culture are seen to incite racial hatred, and as such are contrary to commo...

Thank you for that. This is called the right of expression and freedom of speech as exercised in countries that have evolved beyond either dictatorial feudal regimes or mob rule. Good for Gideon Levy that he both realises the issues faced by Israel and has a medium for communication of those issues ...

Irrespective of the Bank in question: UAE Federal Law and Dubai Law stipulates that provision of false evidence in support of a claim is a crime in and of its self and the person or entity that submits false evidence will face the full force of the law.

Ok - kid Topic - Freedom of Speech and the Human Rights record of the UAE.
