DUBAI, July 7 (Reuters) - Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has selected Rothschild & Co (ROTH.PA) to advise on the strategic review of its assets, two sources close to the matter said on Thursday.
The transport regulator is considering an initial public offering of Dubai Taxi Corp and its public parking business, said the sources, who declined to be named as the matter is not public.
The authority is expected to appoint Emirates NBD for the potential IPOs, two sources with knowledge of the matter said.
Dubai raised nearly $8.5 billion from five IPOs last year, fuelled by a government privatisation plan to list 10 state-linked companies to boost stock market activity.
The authority was also looking at potential options for its public parking assets and the Nol card, which passengers use to pay for public transport across the emirate.
