Dubai’s DEWA says no bonds planned for 2012

“There is no bond this year,” Chief Executive Saeed Mohammed al-Tayer told Reuters on Thursday.
DEWA issued 7.35 billion dirhams worth of bonds in October 2010. It is the sole provider of electricity and water in the emirate of Dubai, one of seven members of the United Arab Emirates federation, but the Dubai government could soon allow other providers into the market.
