The $10 billion bailout received by Dubai from Abu Dhabi in December last year included $5 billion that was earlier lent by two Abu Dhabi banks, reports Reuters, quoting a Dubai government spokesperson. The Dubai government had announced in November last year that Al Hilal Bank and National Bank of Abu Dhabi had bought its $5 billion bond.
The government spokeswoman said that Dubai had used up $1 billion out of the $5 billion, which was offered under a five-year bond priced at 4 percent.
