United Arab Emirates banks are likely to face the brunt of the Dubai World restructuring impact in the second quarter after the central bank told lenders they are not required to book provisions until there is more clarity.

It said it would "provide further guidance to banks concerning the treatment of Dubai World debt in their books".
