Chia Tai Enterprises International Limited provided consolidated earnings guidance for the year ended December 31, 2017. For the year, the company consolidated profit attributable to the shareholders of the company for the year ended 31 December 2017 is expected to record a significant increase possibly doubling the corresponding amount of USD 8.1 million recorded in 2016. Such increase in profit was mainly attributable to a significant increase in share of profit of a joint venture due principally to growth in infrastructure investments and the resulting increase in sales of Caterpillar machinery equipment in western China by the joint venture.
