Fresh 恐れるs over Dubai enveloped British banks in a cloud of gloom.

Ratings 機関 Moody’s 削減（する） six Dubai-政府 companies to ‘junk’ status to 反映する the 首長国’s 警告 that it won’t be 保証（人）ing 貸付金s to Dubai World and its 所有物／資産／財産 子会社 Nakheel.

株 on the Dubai 株式市場 fell a その上の 6pc as fin ance 大臣 Abdul Rahman al-Saleh said the 再編成 of the 負債-laden 複合的な／複合企業体 would take more than six months.

On the junk pile: に引き続いて the 首長国's 警告 it would not 保証（人） 貸付金s, Moody's 削減（する） six Dubai-政府 支援するd companies to 'junk' status

Six of the biggest creditors to Dubai World met with 公式の／役人s to discuss the 運命／宿命 of its $59bn (£36bn) of 負債s. UK banks HSBC, 基準 借り切る／憲章d, 王室の Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group are understood to have been at the 会合.

投資家 恐れるs have been 焦点（を合わせる）d on RBS, renowned as the biggest arranger of 貸付金s to Dubai World.

HSBC has the highest 全体にわたる （危険などに）さらす to the 部隊d Arab 首長国s, but it is seen as big and strong enough to comfortably swallow any 結局の losses without a major 攻撃する，衝突する to the 底（に届く） line.

All of the banks 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業 Lloyds ended the day in the red. RBS was the hardest 攻撃する，衝突する, の近くにing 負かす／撃墜する 2.55p at 30.45p, an 8pc 減少（する）. HSBC の近くにd 負かす／撃墜する 17.70p at 700.54p, Barclays ended 負かす／撃墜する 9.55p at 289.6p, 基準 借り切る／憲章d fell 55.5p to 1437p, while Lloyds ticked up 0.08p to 53.6479p.

Bank 株 have fallen はっきりと (see （米）棚上げする／（英）提議する) since Dubai 発表するd on November 25 that it needed breathing space from creditors on the billions of 貸付金s that had been racked up by Dubai World’s breathtaking 拡大 運動.

最初, 投資家s had been under the impression that Dubai, or its sister 明言する／公表する Abu Dhabi, would 保証（人） the 貸付金s. But Abu Dhabi has said there will be no bailout and 貸す人s will have to take 責任／義務 for their own 決定／判定勝ち（する）s.

Dubai World said it wants to 再編する $26bn of its 負債s, but the 結局の 量 could be far higher. の中で the six Dubai （独立の）存在s Moody’s 率s as ‘junk’ is DP World, the P&O フェリー（で運ぶ）s and ports group.

文書s 示唆する that Nakheel, 責任がある Dubai’s iconic palm tree island 開発 that drew celebrities such as David Beckham and Brad Pitt to the 地域, 急落（する），激減（する）d into a $3.65bn (£2.2bn) loss in the first half as it was 軍隊d to 削除する its 所有物／資産／財産 values.

Rev enues at the 所有物／資産／財産 group, which has $3.5bn (£2.1bn) of 社債s 予定 for 返済 on Monday, 衝突，墜落d 78pc.

All of this is bad news for RBS, which has billions at 火刑／賭ける in the 地域. But this is just one of many thorns in the 味方する of its 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある Stephen Hester.

High on 投資家s’ worry 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） is the 84pc 政府 火刑／賭ける, which seems to be ますます used as a lever to 軍隊 RBS to do its bidding. T

oday’s pre-予算 報告（する）／憶測 could bring その上の bad news on 特別手当s. And as RBS’ 株 languish の近くに to its lows, Hester’s own 株 award ? which 支払う／賃金s out at 55p and 70p ? is looking harder to reach than ever.
