RBS CEO positive on Dubai plan



Dubai World's DBWLD.UL debt restructuring plan is a positive development and sends the right signal, the chief executive of Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS.L) told a local newspaper on Wednesday.

Stephen Hester's comments followed remarks by other major Dubai World creditors, who expressed support for Dubai's $9.5 billion (6.3 billion pound) support plan for the conglomerate.

"As one of the lenders to Dubai World, we view the recent debt restructuring offer as a positive development," Hester told Gulf News. "In the overall context of Dubai's global credit standing, the move has sent out the right signals."
