Dubai: Amlak Finance, a specialised real estate financier, has reported a net profit of Dh8.1 million for the second quarter of 2017 — compared to a loss of Dh35.5 million in the same period last year — mainly due substantial savings in operating cost and reversal of impairments.

“The first half of 2017 proved to be somewhat challenging, as we continue to face uncertainty in the market.
