Dubai gets $10B from Abu Dhabi to cover debt
Dubai's government says it gets $10 billion from Abu Dhabi to cover debt as deadline arrives By Adam Schreck, AP Business Writer On 8:49 am EST, Monday December 14, 2009 http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Dubai-...67649.html?x=0 DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- Dubai got a $10 billion lifeline from oil-rich Abu Dhabi to save one of its prized companies from imminent default Monday, calming fears for now about the city-state's shaky finances. Dubai's main stock market spiked more than 10 percent on the news. Dubai World -- a sprawling conglomerate with assets ranging from the oceanliner Queen Elizabeth 2 to luxury retailer Barney's New York -- had been up against a Monday deadline to repay a pile of loans from its Nakheel property division. Some $4.1 billion of the emergency funds will be used to pay off those bills. The rest will go to shore up Dubai World itself. Dubai officials' reluctance to fully stand behind Dubai World's $60 billion in debts had raised serious concerns about the emirate's creditworthiness, and the move by Abu Dhabi appeared aimed at quashing those worries before they undercut confidence in the United Arab Emirates as a whole. The two emirates share control of the UAE, a federation of seven semiautonomous city-states.

That would be truly wonderful if the DWC went away forever.
If we could then just get the even more stupid Breeders' Cup to go away with it, we would have taken two important steps toward making horse racing a much better sport.
