Dear Colleagues,
It is a great moment for all of us as we completed our financial year 2021 on a high note. We reported a net profit of AED 619.5 mn for 2021, 78% higher than the same period in 2020. Growth, change and search for a bigger tomorrow at Dubai Investments have been instrumental in guiding us to success in 2021.
The new year has opened more positive sentiments with the UAE’s regulatory changes setting the tone for economic recovery and creating a positive environment for businesses growth.
As a Company, we shall continue to capitalize on the compelling business opportunities the region is opening to. In 2022, the Company will continue to focus on the real estate sector and the project announced in Ras Al Khaimah, reiterates the Company’s commitment and strength to expand the real estate portfolio across the region.
The Company’s robust expansion and diversification plans are in line with strengthening presence across existing business sectors and expanding presence geographically. With viable business opportunities in Africa, Dubai Investments plans to expand into the African markets with the expansion of its real estate, education and manufacturing sectors. The planned duplication of the DIP model in Africa is a step forward in establishing a strong presence in these markets. The Company is extending investments within the educational sector in Africa and will also step-up efforts to capitalize on the needs of the emerging manufacturing sector.
I want to thank you for your continued commitment and effort. Every one of us has an important role to play in the work ahead and I’m confident that together we will achieve great things.
Khalid Bin Kalban
