I thought all of their companies are government owned...
60 billions debt doesn't sound that much for a government??
Some of their developments costs tens of billions of dollars alone.
And it isn't a big deal if their government does go bankrupt anyway. It will still be there and only the creditors are screwed. The government will lose its credibility, but seriously who cares? it is not like they have much to start with now anyway.

Dubai is as fake as they come. I was predicting this a while ago after I did some work there.
Abu Dhabi is the real heart of the U.A.E

Seriously, I remember reading something about people getting sent to jail for bankruptcy or something.

Dubai has been shaky for the last several years, you could see the cracks starting to form, but many disregarded it. It is like a "House of Cards" that is now imploding.
With all these people switching positions, it is a significant changing of the guards in Dubai.
