Dubai Government has confirmed it is to plough up to US $9.5 billion into troubled conglomerate Dubai World, as part of a restructuring plan, which will see work continue on major Nakheel projects.

Of this new cash, $8 billion will be pumped into the real estate developer, and the remaining $1.5 billion into the parent company Dubai World.

According to a statement by HH Sheikh Ahmad bin Saeed Al Maktoum, chairman of the Dubai Supreme Fiscal Committee, the funding will be provided in part by $5.7 billion remaining from a loan previously made available from the Government of Abu Dhabi, and the rest from internal Dubai Government resources.

Sheikh Ahmad added that as part of Nakheel’s restructuring proposal, the company’s bank creditors “will be asked to restructure their debt at commercial rates. Trade creditors will be offered a significant cash payment shortly and a tradable security. Assuming sufficient support for the proposal, the 2010 and 2011 Nakheel Sukuk will be paid as they fall due”.
