MIDEAST STOCKS-Region sags as Union Properties loss hits Dubai, Egypt continues slide

MIDEAST STOCKS-Region sags as Union Properties loss hits Dubai, Egypt continues slide:

"Middle Eastern stock markets sagged again on Tuesday because of a mediocre economic outlook, with a shock loss at a real estate developer weighing on Dubai and Egypt dropping for a sixth straight day. Union Properties sank 4.3 percent to 0.82 dirham after it reported a 2.29 billion dirham ($624 million) net loss for the second quarter, although the stock came well off its intra-day low of 0.77 dirham. It accounted for over a third of Dubai's trading volume. The company said it was taking big provisions to cover past accounting errors related to its booking of a 503 million dirham gain on a plot of land at Dubai's Motor City."
