Kuwait’s Zain Group reports lower third-quarter profit
Kuwait’s Zain Group reports lower third-quarter profit
Dubai - Al Maghrib Today
Zain, which operates in eight countries in the Middle East and Africa, made a net income of 40 million dinars in the three months to September 30, compared with 43 million dinars in the year ago period.
EFG Hermes had forecast a net profit of 39.64 million dinars, while SICO Bahrain forecast a net profit of 39.13 million dinars.
Zain said in a statement on Saturday that unfavorable foreign exchange rates, predominantly due to a 63 percent devaluation in the Sudanese pound, cost the company $148 million in revenue and $20 million in net income.
Consolidated revenue was down nearly 7.2 percent to 259 million dinars.
Oman Telecommunications has said it plans to buy an additional 12 percent stake in Zain after first investing in the Kuwaiti telecom in the third quarter.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
