gulfnews : Dubai's debt decision a credit positive step

The absence of Dubai government guarantees in support of the Dubai Group restructuring is credit positive for Dubai's sovereign credit worthiness, Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BofA) said in a report yesterday.
"While decreasing contingent liabilities is positive for sovereign creditworthiness and CDS [credit default swaps], the immediate impact may be trumped by broader Dubai Inc restructurings and sentiment," Jean-Michel Saliba, a BofA economist wrote in a note.
However, he added that the decision was broadly shrugged off by the market.
