News that the Dubai Finance Department has raised $10 billion via a bond issue to the UAE has seen share prices in the region bounce, but is this the end of the economic and property market decline?

This bond issuance will temporary give life to the stock markets and help Dubai meet its 'immediate' debt obligations. The flow of liquidity will not bring much life to the property market as the reason behind the collapse might have been ignited by the liquidity supply but many more reasons joined in lateron (e.g. scrapping of laws, accountability, compliance etc). These issues are being ignored and till these laws and regulations are fixed, there wont be any investor confidence revival.

this is debt being taken on, sacrificing the future to support an illusory problem,

aka throwing good money after bad.

Taxation here we come

Not enough

It is a good injection, will stabilize the situation for a while, but will not fix the problems. Drastic changes are needed and if not implemented the 20$ billion will disappear very quickly.
Having in mind that the 10$ billion comes from AD immediately, means that the situation is alarming.
This will cover all the current debts and some of the government projects, but is better than nothing

makes me wonder where all the money gone by selling WORLD islands. they were 70% sold.only 1 island Britain was sold for $50 million. how much money Nakheel must have fetched from selling others.i am sure Nakheel has lot of money in its back pocket. once it is out of business where will it go is anybody's guess.

Most of this money will go into paying interst.
So I doubt any improvement in the property market.
