With questions about Dubai’s looming debt obligations swirling, Citigroup Inc. said it had raised $8 billion for the Persian Gulf city-state over the course of the past year. A Citigroup official said the $8 billion in loan financing for Dubai had been syndicated from other sources, but did not reveal the source. In November 2007, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, the sovereign-wealth fund owned by the capital of the United Arab Emirates, injected $7.6 billion into Citigroup. And now Citigroup is roughly lending the same amount back to Dubai at a premium.
