Creditors meet Dubai World in payment push

A group of international and regional banks met Dubai’s struggling conglomerate, Dubai World, for the first time on Monday as talks began on the company’s request to restructure debts of $26bn.

People familiar with the process said it was a “kick off” meeting for what is expected to be a long and drawn-out process and it included key creditors expected to form a steering committee.

No restructuring plan was presented by Dubai World, which shocked markets late last month when it said it was seeking a six month standstill with creditors.
