Abstract

After a historically long economic high-growth period the real estate sector in Dubai was hit hard in November 2009. Earlier that year, Dubai's oil-rich neighbour Abu Dhabi supported Dubai with financial aid. A number of facts shows that the debt problems of Dubai remain a concern for the United Arab Emirates. Several transmission channels are discussed along which a Dubai debt crisis can impact global developments.
