Dubai world and U.K bank ties lead to Sterling weakness over past 24 hours

The FTSE 100 tumbled 3 percent yesterday, this follows news that the investment company Dubai World has asked its creditors for an extension to repay its debts, which amount to £35Billion until 2010; for those readers who don’t know Dubai World is an investment company that manages and supervises a vast number of businesses and projects for the Dubai Government.

Dubai world is seen as a key element in the rapid expansion of Dubai’s economy and some analysts have speculated that this will expose the British banks to the debt problems in Dubai. Although this exposure has yet to be confirmed the potential risk involved has impacted Sterling. Dominique Strauss-Khan the managing general of the International Monetary Fund stated that ‘global banks had only worked their way through half of their toxic assets since the break of the banking crisis’ and Gavin Friend, currency strategist at nabCapital said sterling had been "disproportionately hit" by the shock debt request from Dubai.

This has hit the Pound as many U.K banks may well be involved in this potential nightmare so if you do have an upcoming request any future announcements could lead to further losses.
