Dubai govt backs $1 billion loan for DIFCI: sources | Reuters

The Dubai government will partly guarantee the $1 billion loan which DIFC Investments will use to repay its $1.25 billion Islamic bond maturing in June, two sources said on Thursday.

The government support consists of a shortfall guarantee of up to $470 million, one of the sources familiar with the matter said, speaking on condition of anonymity as the information is not public.

"There are credit enhancements involving government support," said a second source, adding the loan was set to be signed this weekend.
