Dubai Expo 2020: After euphoria comes the question ‘how to pay for it?’ | The National

Dubai Expo 2020: After euphoria comes the question ‘how to pay for it?’ | The National:

"Dubai’s World Expo 2020 victory is focusing attention on the emirate’s debt – estimated by one bank to be around US$103 billion – as it is expected to renew borrowing to fund projects linked to the event.

The Dubai Government has hinted that a sizeable chunk of the funding for the exhibition is likely to come from borrowing, either directly or from its stable of state-linked firms.

As much as $43bn in infrastructure projects would need to be developed in preparation for the event, Deutsche Bank estimated in a report released last week."
