Australia's CBA says no comment on Dubai report

SYDNEY Nov 27 (Reuters) - Australia's second-biggest lender, Commonwealth Bank of Australia Ltd (CBA.AX), declined on Friday to comment on a report that it had an exposure to Dubai World, a conglomerate at the heart of the emirate's debt problems.

It made the statement in response to an earlier report by Australian Associated Press.

A bank spokesman told Reuters it was not appropriate for the bank to discuss confidential client information.
