Demetra Investment Public Limited provided Group earnings guidance for the first half of 2018. Based on the indications to date, in the first half of 2018 the Group is expected to register a profit which will be slightly lower than the profit of the corresponding period in 2017. The profit arises mostly from the Group's investments in shares and other securities and specifically from the investments in titles listed on the Cyprus Stock Exchange. Income from interest is expected to be significantly reduced compared to the corresponding period of 2017 as a result of the significant decrease in deposits and the fall in interest rates. The Group's investments in land and property development are also expected to register a profit at approximately the same levels as the corresponding period of 2017. This profit arises from income from rent.
