DUBAI (Reuters) - Dubai World <DBWLD.UL>, faced with a $22 billion debt restructuring, told creditors it had $40 billion in total debts and will pitch a standstill proposal in mid-January, a banking source said on Monday.

Dubai's flagship conglomerate outlined its financial position to creditors, as it seeks to restructure debt linked to itself and main property units, Nakheel <NAKHD.UL> and Limitless World.

"They want to launch the proposal for mid-January so it's effective end January," said a banking source who saw the presentation. "It's more of a friendly type of restructuring. Dubai World is making an effort to work with the lenders for a solution that works with both parties.

"This is the first time they've given numbers."

The conglomerate said in a presentation to creditors that its Nakheel unit had approximately $9 billion in liabilities.

Dubai World, which rocked global markets on November 25 when it announced it would seek a debt standstill on $26 billion, staved off a $4.1 billion Islamic bond default by Nakheel after it got a $10 billion bailout from Abu Dhabi.
