Riyadh – Mubasher: The board of directors of City Cement Company recommended 26% capital reduction to SAR 1.4 billion from SAR 1.89 billion through share cancellation.

The capital cut will be financed through the company’s internal resources and loans, according to the firm’s filing to the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) on Tuesday.
