Concern about Dubai
Ever heard of Himendra Mohan Kumar? He's a Staff Reporter with the Gulf News and it fell to his lot yesterday to find the silver lining in the cloud. While the rest of the newspaper's staff were busy working on stories about the Haj and Eid, Himendra Mohan Kumar produced "Investors show trust in Dubai: Al Hilal Bank releases first installment of $500m to Dubai with rest to follow". That's good, "rest to follow". What followed the good news in the story was flagged with the word "Concern", but one had to go the website of the Financial Times to really get a feel for what people are concerned about. In what could only be described as an orgy of anxiety, the FT gave Dubai the full treatment, as this Wordle shows, and one gets the sinking feeling that this is not the end of the story.
