No clear answer to $15bn question - The National

Dubai's debt woes have been discussed ad infinitum. The chatter started in 2009, when Dubai World delivered a shock by announcing it would seek a standstill on debt repayments as it negotiated a restructuring.

More than two years later, nobody seems to be able to drop the issue and move on, and for good reason.

Dubai still has debt problems.
