Profit declines again for Orascom in Egypt - The National

Quarterly profits at Orascom Construction Industries fell by almost one third as the cost of projects in Algeria and the United States weighed on earnings.

The Egyptian company, a star performer on the Cairo stock exchange this year, is often described as a contractor but makes most of its money from fertilizer sales.

But Orascom's latest quarterly numbers are disappointing. Quarterly revenues fell 8.5 per cent to US$1.3 billion compared with the same period last year.
