DUBAI, Aug 22 (Reuters) - Dubai's government will keep its options open for a potential sovereign debt issue later this year but it is not under pressure to do so, its finance chief said late on Sunday.
'The options are open. We are not under pressure to do anything,' Abdulrahman al-Saleh, director general of Dubai's Department of Finance, told Reuters on the sidelines of gathering of Dubai officials.
