Apparently they have serious cash flow problems due to late payments by QATAR for the World Cup work....
With the spat ongoing with the UAE & Saudi a lot of Qatar money is staying close to home and they are deferring payments on all sorts of deals -
"
One of the biggest problem projects was a $650m development preparing Qatar for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The client,
Qatar Foundation-backed Msheireb, had not handed over any cash for a year. Carillion believed it was owed £200m.
The Qataris, concerned at the prospect of Carillion not being able to complete the works, thought they were owed money – and withheld payment.
Attendees of cash conference calls, which were now happening three times a week instead of the normal two times a month, heard first-hand of the trouble involved in extracting cash from Middle East clients, saying simply that it appeared “impossible”."
