Dubai shares continue to fall on debt concerns


The main Dubai Financial Market index fell 6.1%, after closing down almost 6% on Monday.

Two weeks ago, Dubai World asked for a six-month delay on debt repayments. Credit agencies have since downgraded many leading Dubai companies.

The Dubai index has now fallen by more than 20% since the extension request.

Tuesday's plunge was led by real estate developer Emaar Projects, which fell by 9.8%.
