Commenting on the financial statements, following the company’s recent board meeting, Al Mazaya Group CEO Engineer Ibrahim Al Saq’abi said that Al Mazaya Holding has continued to boost its operating performance for the first half of 2017 thanks to an intensive focus on a robust operating plan based on well-integrated strategy and  a strict time frame that boosted the company’s total operating revenues by 22.02% to KWD 31.32 million by the end of the first half of this year against KWD25.67 million for the same period last year.
