News Summary: RBS ends debt talks with Dubai firm
Tuesday - 7/10/2012, 1:59pm  ET
(AP) - NO DEAL: The Royal Bank of Scotland backed out of talks with Dubai Group, an investment company controlled by the emirate's ruler, to rework terms on $10 billion in debt.
DEBT LOAD: The latest impasse is a reminder of challenges still facing Dubai's state-linked companies. They and the government are estimated to carry more than $100 billion in debt.
THEY TRIED: RBS said it and other lenders presented a number of restructuring proposals that would have allowed Dubai Group to continue operating while meeting its obligations to its creditors.
