    Dubai repays $229m Islamic debt facility

    (MENANF) The Dubai Government Media Office announced that the emirate has repaid $229 million on the Dubai Civil Aviation Ijara facility, Khaleej Times reported. According to a statement from the government entity, the amount is the first of three equal installments of a $635 million Dubai Civil Aviation multi-currency Ijara facility maturing in April 2011. The Director-General of the Department of Finance in Dubai said in statement that the move re-affirms the Dubai Government's commitment to honor all its financial obligations. Despite the liquidity crunch in the global financial markets, the Dubai Government and government-related entities have so far met all their debt obligations. According to an estimate by Dubai Advisory Council, the government and various GREs together have a total debt of $70 billion, while different independent estimates have placed Dubai's obligations at $100 billion to $120 billion.
