Mubasher: A subsidiary of Al Imtiaz Investment Group announced the postponement of dividends distribution for some collective investment systems until further notice.

The decision is due to the current coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis that impacted the global economy, according to a stock exchange statement on Sunday.

Following the resolution, Al Imtiaz Investment’s net earnings will be reduced by around KWD 929,000 until 2020 year-end at the average exchange rates, subject to change as per the global economic circumstances. The investment group owns a 67.76% stake in the subsidiary.
