Dubai's debt default risk receding, says Credit Suisse - The National

The Swiss investment bank Credit Suisse has produced the latest estimate of Dubai's total indebtedness in a detailed report on the emirate's financial and economic prospects.

The lender believes, however, that after a year of restructuring at the emirate's two biggest debtors, Dubai World and Dubai Holding, fears over potential defaults are receding, and it says the UAE's well-capitalised banks will be able to absorb any major hit from provisioning requirements.

But "there is a chance of further restructuring of debt", it adds.
