The Group realised an increase of 8% in net operating income from continuing operations against the same period last year to reach MUR364.5m. Net operating income has increased for the Finance and Property clusters, up 11% and 7% respectively.

Profit after tax (PAT) from continuing operations declined by MUR10m (-12%) from MUR81m to MUR71m mainly due to an increase in costs associated with the Group’s African investments.
