ABU DHABI, (Pakistan Point News - 13th Aug, 2020) Aldar Properties today reported a 21% year-on-year increase in revenue to AED2.01 billion in the second quarter of 2020, due to a strong performance from the development business.
According to a press release issued by the company on Thursday, net profit for the second quarter increased 2% from the previous year to AED484 million.
