Top Kuwait lender sees 2011 profit flat

National Bank of Kuwait reported flat full-year profits on Thursday, while fourth quarter earnings fell shy of estimates, as the Gulf state's largest lender grappled with what it called a "challenging operating environment."

The lender said net profit was 302.4 million dinars ($1.1 billion) in 2011 compared with 301.7 million in 2010.

Fourth quarter profits stood at 76.8 million, according to Reuters calculations based on previously issued results, down from 77.16 million in the prior-year period.
