The second part of a $10 billion bailout of property developer Aldar by Abu Dhabi is very much a re-run of the $25 billion rescue of Dubai two years ago. In both cases a property boom went bust leaving huge debts, half-built projects and an oversupply of real estate.
The aftermath is debts that have to be rescheduled, consolidated and assets sold down. There is also a period of cutbacks and austerity that follows a period characterized by easy money and rapid growth.
