the following folks on the list:
International Banks:
- from the Persian Gulf
- from the G8, especially from the UK and Russia
- from low or no tax countries like the Caymans, Liechtenstein, Jersey & Guernsey, etc...
- from Asia, especially India, Pakistan, China, South Korea
Individuals (all over the world, but Middle East, India/Pakistan countries, Russia and Europe might be strongly represented):
- through investment funds, either in bonds, stocks or real estate (which has lost lots of its value)
Other Businesses:
- construction businesses associated with Dubai World projects (who may get paid late or not in full, thus "loaning money", albeit involuntarily)
- anyone to whom those construction businesses owe money to (and who might in turn get paid late)
The US is also almost certainly affected to some degree aswell as the UAE dirham is pegged to the US$.
Note that this list contains some (educated) guesses and may very well not be accurate. So don't rely on it for anything important, like your own money. |
