Meanwhile, the operating costs jumped by 6% to AED 72 million in July-September 2024, compared to AED 68 million during the same period in 2023 due to additional expenses related to the fast-tracked sale of investment properties.

Furthermore, the company recorded a lower amortisation cost of AED 24 million in Q3-24, compared to AED 31 million in Q3-23 on regular investment deposits.
