(MENAFN) The Dubai Financial Support Fund announced that it had made funds available to troubled property developer, Nakheel, in order to aid it in repaying its $750 million Islamic bond that matures in mid-January 2011, Reuters reported.

Nakheel, which built man-made islands off the coast of Dubai, said with this sukuk payment it would have repaid all previously issued sukuk, and would request the Nasdaq Dubai bourse to delist them.
