Deep concern about the health of Nakheel's business has slowed the development of a market for the Dubai property giant's Islamic bonds, traders say.
Nakheel issued a first tranche of the Islamic bonds, or sukuk, to unpaid contractors last month. They are a key part of the company's restructuring.
In a prospectus attached to the sukuk, Nakheel revealed that it wrote down the value of its property and project portfolio by almost Dh74 billion (US$20.14bn) in 2009 as its fortunes flagged. The company also said it changed tactics in response to the financial crisis, forging ahead with a selection of its projects and putting others on hold.
