March 10 (Bloomberg) -- Dubai World, the state-owned holding company seeking to renegotiate terms on $26 billion of debt, made “some progress” in talks with creditors, U.K. Trade Minister Mervyn Davies said.

“There are signs of some progress being made from what I hear from the banks and therefore I am hopeful that this progress can continue,” said Davies, a former chairman of Standard Chartered plc, one of Dubai World’s largest foreign lenders. He was speaking in Dubai today before meetings with the emirate’s officials tomorrow, including Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed al-Maktoum, chairman of Dubai Supreme Fiscal Committee.

Dubai World’s debt restructuring hurt confidence and tested U.K. banks’ resolve in the short-term, said Davies. Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc, HSBC Holdings plc, Lloyds Banking Group plc and Standard Chartered are among Dubai World’s biggest creditors. Dubai World’s Chief Restructuring Officer Aidan Birkett held talks with HSBC in London earlier this week to outline debt proposals, the Abu Dhabi-based The National reported, without citing anyone.
