Pacific Investment Management Co., which runs the world’s biggest bond fund, is buying the debt of Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Co., said Michael Gomez, co-head of emerging markets at the fund manager.
The bonds fell after Dubai World, the state-run holding company, sought to delay payment on some of its debt, Gomez said. Dubai’s announcement on Nov. 25 spurred an increase in the cost of insuring government and company debt from default around the world. RasGas, a venture between state-run Qatar Petroleum and Exxon Mobil Corp., is one of Qatar’s two producers of gas.
“We’re coming in and buying,” said Gomez, who is based at the company’s main office in Newport Beach, California, in an interview with Bloomberg Television. “In any selloff, we’ll be accumulating even more. We think they’re cheap.”
