Positive development
Essa Kazim, DFM chairman, said: “DFM Company’s revenue and profit have relatively increased during the first quarter of 2016, which represents a positive development taking into consideration the fluctuations of regional and international markets due to the repercussions of lower oil prices.
From our point of view, the market has handled such unfavourable circumstances with a high level of resiliency and successfully managed to maintain a good level of activity supported by investors’ confidence in the lucrative investment opportunities DFM provides.
Accordingly, trading value has increased by 7.56 per cent compared to the first quarter of 2015 and the General Index soared by 6.5 per cent, one of the best performing indices amongst main stock markets across the world.
“Undoubtedly, this performance underlines investors’ strong recognition of the strong fundamentals of the national economy, which maintains its high levels of sustainable growth, as well as the healthy performance of the listed companies.
Such strong fundamentals limit the implications of global circumstances and contain it within short periods.”
