There are further hints that Dubai World will sell off assets to help meet its debt obligations.
The director general of the emirate's finance department told Al Jazeera that there was nothing to prevent the firm selling some of its overseas investments.
These include sea ports, US hotels and the QE2 cruise liner. The news came as investors continued their sell off of stocks on both the Dubai and neighbouring Abu Dhabi stock markets.
