UDC board chairman Turki bin Mohammed Khaled Al Khater said 2015 was a year of achievement for UDC and he was looking forward for the same this year.

"The results reflect the positive performance and progress, leading the company to propose dividend distribution of QR1.50 per share, which is more than the last year by 20 per cent," he noted.

Ibrahim Jassim Al Othman, the president and chief executive, said the increase in the company’s net profit was coupled with the increase in the earnings per share which stood at QR1.95, up 10 per cent from 2014.
