On November 25, 2009, the city state of Dubai shocked markets by revealing that Dubai World, its flagship state holding business, would look for a 6 month "dead stop" on a minimum of $4 billion U.S. dollars of its $26 billion in debt responsibilities. This case explains Dubai's development method in information and tells how, as part of that method, a series of state-owned holding business built up billions of dollars in debt. The A case ends as Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed, chairman of Dubai's Fiscal Committee, needs to choose exactly what to do about the monetary difficulties of Dubai World and other state-owned holding business.
The case provides Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed needing to choose amongst 3 choices: The Dubai federal government can ensure the debt, they can renegotiate the debt, or leave (i.e., default). The B case explains the choice and the responses to this choice worldwide and provides a brand-new choice on the part of bond holders of Dubai's state-owned holding business. The C case briefly evaluates the benefits and drawbacks of Dubai's bankruptcy treatments, both for financiers and for the holding business of Dubai.
