FT.com - Nakheel edges closer to debt deals

It is more than a year since Nakheel, the developer behind some of Dubai’s most ambitious property projects, set out terms for the restructuring of $10.5bn in debts – but investors still have at least another month to wait before a final deal is signed.

The government last month completed a $25bn restructuring deal with financial creditors of Dubai World, Nakheel’s holding company, ending a damaging period of uncertainty for the emirate.

The restructuring of Dubai World and its entities comes amid broader efforts to extend maturities at other state-backed companies, including Dubai Group – a unit of Dubai Holding, a conglomerate owned by the ruler – which is close to reaching a deal on $6.2bn worth of debt.
