 REASONS FOR THE CRISIS
• After 2003- Dubai economic model- More debt & less equity.
• Advantage of
– Political and economic openness,
– Better infrastructure,
– Trade mark of regional and world business hub.
• FDI invited-
– Invested in real estate-Infrastructure,
– Tourism- airway
– Trade
• Mismatch between demand and supply.
• Dubai has accrued debts of approximately US$85-100 billion, or around
200% of GDP.
• Government restrictions were low.
• Lax lending standards and low interest rates.
7/11/2013 Economics Project 7
 ROLE OF THE DUBAI GIANTS
• Dubai’s main development engine- Dubai world and
its real estate arm- Nakheel
• Issued Nakheel bonds- investors ready to invest as it
was state owned
• Today many bonds are due and cash flows not enough
to pay them back.
– Restructuring effect-
– It has a reported US$60 billion in liabilities, offset
by a calculated US$40 billion in assets
– There is a maturity mismatch- the expected
revenue is in the future while liabilities, including
to contractors and suppliers, are piling up today.

 WHY NOT ABU DHABI

• It has oil backing and is loaded with

liquid assets.

• It has a diversified portfolio- investment

not locked up in one sector.

• In real estate, demand is there so

construction is done.

 IMPACT ON INDIA

Kerala, work in Dubai.
• Some construction workers are likely to lose their
jobs in Dubai. It may have some repercussions on
Kerala’s economy, which is substantially dependent
on Gulf money.
• Since the global financial meltdown, many low-paid
workers in the Middle East have already lost their
jobs.

 EFFECTS ON REAL ESTATE
 Present condition of property buyers and realtors.
 The Dubai debt crisis may further worsen their
woes. India’s property markets have deeper links to
Dubai and Indian real estate may bear the brunt of
Dubai’s financial woes.
 Construction companies which carry out contract
jobs in Dubai may suffer heavy losses.
 New investors are trying to buy properties.

 EFFECT ON IMPORT EXPORT ESTATE

• Even gems and jewellery industries

may be impacted negatively with
many Indian firms having links to
Dubai’s world-famous bullion
markets.
A substantial portion of India’s inward
NRI remittances come from UAE.

 ROLE OF ABU DHABI AS A SAVER

• Dubai asked Abu dhabi to bail out from this

crises.
• However , it up to Abu Dhabi, the wealthy capital
of the United Arab Emirates how it would like to
assist Dubai.
• Analysts are expecting Abu Dhabi (the senior and
controlling Emirate in the UAE) to help soften the
blow of this crisis.
• A recent report by HSBC confirms that Abu Dhabi
has the cash liquidity to support its own banks
and property companies
7/11/2013 Economics Project 23
• Therefore, Abu Dhabi is likely to use some of
this liquidity and stability to help prevent a
complete collapse of markets in Dubai.
• The UAE Central Bank has already confirmed
that it´s board has discussed plans to launch
facilities for supporting real estate lending in
Dubai, as well as in the rest of the UAE.

7/11/2013 Economics Project 24

 RAY OF HOPE

• Inspite of all these, experts hope that it is

possible to recover.It comes out of past
experience. Dubai had faced similar economic
crisis in 1999.Then Abu dhabi, another
emirette in UAE, had helped Dubai by lending
a loan of $1,00,000. Abu dhabi is a financially
stable country.
