Guest Post: Dubai sees buying opportunity in U.S. financial sector

News from Dubai last week is just the latest example of the "when there's blood on the streets" model of doing business. DIFC Investments is identifying "good opportunities for acquisitions" in the United States.

Could a bailout be coming from off-shore? John Q Public wasn't very enthusiastic about the same government's involvement in running our ports, how will they feel about Dubai controlling some of our most powerful financial institutions?

From DIFC's point of view, there may be no better time to buy. An acquisition that will help prop up the mortgage market is never going to meet with friendlier acceptance on the hill. The acquisitions would further bolster Dubai's growing ambitions to become the premier banking, business and tourist destination in the Middle East.
