Dubai – Mubasher: Dubai Investments logged AED 123.8 million in net profits attributable to the company's owners in the first quarter (Q1) of 2021, versus net losses of AED 6.8 million in the year-ago period.

The company’s revenues grew to AED 637.6 million in the January-March period, compared to AED 464.8 million in the corresponding period in 2020, encouraged by strong performance led by the manufacturing, services, and investments sectors, while the real estate sector remained resilient, according to a statement on Sunday.

We expect the momentum to continue through the year which will aid us in achieving our targets and delivering on various projects.”

The recent acquisition of further interest in National General Insurance Co. PJSC (NGI) demonstrates our commitment to unlocking growth opportunities and delivering superior returns for our shareholders,” Bin Kalban noted.

During 2020, the company's net profits decreased to AED 347.876 million from AED 657.42 million in 2019.
