GENERAL COMMENTS

 

Subject is a well-established concern, 100% owned by the Government of the Emirate of Dubai, deemed trustworthy for respecting all of its financial trade commitments.

 

Extrusion billets, a mainstay of the construction industry, account for around half of Dubal’s output, while foundry alloys, supplied in ingots of various sizes, account for nearly 45% of the smelter’s production. Dubal is the world’s largest supplier of foundry alloys to the automobile industry.

 

Nothing detrimental has been heard regarding the manner in which payment obligations are met and the financial position is considered to be strong. As such the subject is deemed a fair trade risk.
