Mubasher: International Financial Advisors (IFA) achieved a profit of KWD 1.39 million ($4.60 million) in the third quarter of 2017 against a loss of nearly KWD 486,010 ($1.61 million) in the same period in the prior year.

The positive turn in income statements is attributed to higher net profit from hotel operations and services by KWD 4.3 million, in addition to an increase in profits from selling a stake in an associate’s investment for KWD 4.3 million.
It is noteworthy that IFA recorded around KWD 67,510 profits in the first half of 2017 against a loss of KWD 4.16 million in H1-16.
