Bank Saderat Iran:             $ 1.7 billion
BNP Parabas:                   $ 1.7 billion
Lloyds:                        $ 1.6 billion

Other notes of note:

  • UBS speculates that (among other possibilities) $80-90 billion (which is already over 100% of GDP) may be a low figure for Dubai's debt and that significant "off-balance sheet" amounts might explain the restructuring attempt
  • The Dubai government is on holiday (Eid Al-Adha) until December 6th
  • Abu Dhabi's Sovereign Wealth Fund (generally thought to command upwards of $500 billion) may have significantly less available.  (Rumors of $125 billion in 2008 losses abounded last year).  Bloomberg quotes sources to the effect that Abu Dhabi SWF's AUM has been "overstated, sometimes by as much as 100 percent."

i dont think Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Quwain, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujariah will have any problems in repaying their debt; but Dubai .... also; reasons, Abu Dhabi takeover of that bitch and for the low price of only 40+ billion dollars .... mark my words the al-Nahyans will BUY it (subtly and in secrecy) to regain political control of the entire UAE (the rest; they got that pretty much covered)

UK banks will take a big bang.

possibly, Dubai World doesn't really own interesting assets (maybe with except to DP World, but they already said that DPW is not part of restructuring), all core assets are sitting here: http://www.icd.gov.ae/portfolio.html

now, retaining core assets and leaving banks with a bunch of real estate in a middle of nowhere isn't necessarily a bad strategy.

Dubai is just a warm up for bigger things.  Dubai isn't enough scare people into buying the Treasuries Geithner is selling.  He'll need to trigger a bigger crisis to bring people home to the bombed out buck and the long bond.  Especially if Geithner really does want to extend the average maturity of Fed debt.

Dubai default is like when a big corporation buys a park and builds a parking lot. No one gives a shit, and the kids,the dealer, the junkies and the whores just move further down the road and hang in front of the local 7-11 .... but ... Ukraine, Greece or Ireland; now THAT would do some damage ....

Everything Cheeky said just add on. Who gives a crap how much money bankrupt banks lose. They are BANKRUPT. They'll just lie harder.

Iceland went bankrupt. McDonalds had to leave because they couldn't compete with homegrown currency using restaraunts. Half the world is forcing, running, backing out of the collective conciousness with loaded shotguns aimed at the IMF. Whatever drops out from default is just icing on the cake. Screw dubai, I'm eyeing greece, ireland, ukraine. It's going to take alot more lies and failure to even put a dent in UK/USA crazy. They'll patch it up with future non-existant taxes and revenue streams and citizen labor camps etc knowing they can't pull it off. Go on a spending spree before losing your job, buying gold, pulling your 401k out and stuffing it in a mattress. It's like screwing a wild boar. There's really no right way or wrong way to do it. It's just unpleasant no matter what strategy you use.

'Tim - hello - are you there? Dubai qualifies for Tarp assistance, right?'

Have a look at Dubai on google earth - what a site. Drive a few miles and visit the sandy suburb of Al Awir or maybe Lahbab - reminds me of the London and New York suburbs and other financial hubs - NOT. Other close neighbors - Iran.  Whose had their head buried in the sand?

So much wealth and waste yet the arabs keep blaming Israel for the palestians' misery. Over a million palestians live in extreme poverty in Gaza and Lebanon. If only a portion of those 180 biilions went to finance the construction of affordable housing and manufacturing industry in Gaza instead of financing underground tunnels and rocket making factories. Maybe Dubai could be the promised land for the palestians solving the middle East conflict once and for all?

U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he and Financial Stability Board Chairman Mario Draghi are confident that Dubai’s debt troubles are “containable.”

 Containable? 

Where have we heard that before?

 

Containable?  Like in a garbage can?

 

Take out the papers and the trash

Or you don't get no spendin' cash

Get all that garbage out of sight

Or you don't go out Friday night

The ramifications of Dubai are not yet known.  First is the direct impact, as the assets are effectively property of a sovereign state who is unlikely to relinquish control to any of the foreign creditors (sorry HSBC and STAN).  Second, as much money as ADIA has, they have demonstrated that they are quite fallible ($7.5 billion to C at ~$30 exactly two years ago to the day) and could carry brinksmanship---if that is what this is---a bit too far.  Third, the size, or lack thereof, of anyone's CDS exposure on the debt is not known.  Fourth, Dubai could well serve as a reminder that sovereign debt is "default-able", and may lead to major increases in spreads on other sovdebt, plus concomitant demands for collateral increases on any CDS' written on sovdebt, as well as remind the market how exposed Eurobanks are to EM's.

Dubai could turn out to be nothing, or it could turn out to be the latest canary in a coal mine.  That so many people, even habitually bearish types, are so quick to dismiss Dubai as a non-event has me wondering about the degree of complacency in the market, and the susceptibility of the markets to a new tumble.

If nothing else, Dubai may have given us the order of battle if and when the next systemic event does occur (dollar up, yen up big, gold and commodities down, equities down big, oil down, short end up).

Like a young boy in the presence of a Gulf Arab sheik, Dubai is fucked.

If nothing else, Dubai may have given us the order of battle if and when the next systemic event does occur (dollar up, yen up big, gold and commodities down, equities down big, oil down, short end up).

I don't think so.  I think each crash on our way to the ultimate bottom is going to turn out differently than the previous in those subtle ways that are always hard (or impossible) to predict.

ugg boots london I saw something shocking uggs london on my way to work the other day. uggs new york While bundled in a long sleeved shirt, wool sweater and coat, with a Pashmina, hat and gloves,ugg boots london sale I saw a man with his bike a the bus stop in SANDALS. He wasn’t overly well dressed for cold weather, in jeans, t-shirt and open jacket. Now, having lived in Oregon for the past decade I have come to be aware of what “true Oregonians” consider winter attire. ugg boots london shop This primarily consists of the inbred belief that flip-flops are a necessity year round, and sweaters and umbrellas are for tourists. I do not uphold this belief.ugg boots sale london I love getting dressed up for winter, layering on leggings with my sweater dress and ugg boots new york, a sweater and a jacket, and a rotating army of scarves, hats and gloves.ugg boots london stockists I don’t enjoy being frozen, especially knowing how easy a situation that is to avoid. uggs new york sale So personally, buy ugg boots london I do not consider myself a “true Oregonian.” I like umbrellas, and only wear flip flops when it’s above 75 degrees.Based on the population of Oregon, ugg new york I’m probably in the minority. Although I have come to accept that these people are just immune to cold in a way I am not, uggs new york of sale I do still think they are crazy. I’m guessing that the good folks at UGG Australia caught wind of these people because look at what they have to offer: sandals with fleece!uggs new york on sale
