The Dubai International Financial Centre has laid the groundwork for establishing a new UAE mortgage bond market, based on Denmark's property market, which investors say could revitalise the Emirates' real estate sector.
The DIFC, in conjunction with Absalon Project, a joint venture between Denmark's VP Securities and Soros Fund Management, is launching a feasibility study for private residential mortgages funded by the issuance of standardised bonds.
The DIFC hopes that the proposals will create a large and liquid mortgage bond market in the UAE, jolting the country's property sector back into life after a prolonged slump, while avoiding the excesses related to mortgage-backed securities in the US subprime mortgage sector.
