Egypt's Naeem 9-month net profit drops 47 pct
CAIRO, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Naeem Holding, Egypt's second-largest publicly traded investment bank, posted a 47 percent decline in net profit to $20.2 million in the nine months to end-September, the bourse said on Sunday.
The stock exchange gave no further details. Naeem had posted a net profit of $38.4 million in the same period last year.
Naeem, which operates in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, said last month it had won approval to open a representative office in Libya.
The bank (NASDAQ: TBHS - news) had said in May it planned to reduce the proportion of its revenue from Egypt to between 35 and 40 percent from 70 percent within two years.
