The Emirates Group has defied the economic slowdown over the past year, recording a 248 per cent increase in net profit for the financial year ending March 31.
“It has been an exceptional year of continued profitability against a backdrop of the worst global recession in generations,” said Emirates Group chairman and CEO HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum. “The first half of the financial year, however, was extremely challenging as the world continued to grapple with the economic crisis. Our pioneering spirit and ability to adapt in adverse conditions helped us to push through this harsh economic climate with an extremely strong performance in the latter part of the year.”
