He said the company will overcome its credit problems by restructuring the debts and selling its own assets. Al Saleh said the Dubai Financial Support Fund could extend support to Dubai World if needed. He said Dubai World"s and Nakheel"s problems originated from short-term lending on long-term projects. "It doesn"t work, especially in a volatile market situation. Most of Dubai World"s and Nakheel"s projects are of strategic importance and long-term. You can"t develop them through short-term borrowing," Al Saleh said. The Dubai Financial Market slumped by more than 5 per cent and the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange dropped by 1.73 per cent after yesterday"s rise from last week"s gains. Kuwait"s stock market was also down 0.79 per cent.Same Day Loans commented:
