Baku / 03.10.17 / Turan: CJSC Caspian International Investment Company (CIIC), whose main shareholders are investors from the Arabian Gulf, completed 2016 with a profit. However, the source of profit is not economic activity, but the difference in the exchange rate, due to which the shareholders were given dividends.

But still CIIC managed to complete 2016 with a profit, as it did in the previous year. Part of the profit (493,000 manat) is interest income on bank accounts, and over 3 million manat is the exchange rate difference. It should be noted that following the results of 2015 CIIC shareholders were affected by the devaluation, the amount of which exceeded 9.5 million manat.
According to the report http://ciic.az/#!/mediainformation/annual-reports, the net profit of CIIC in 2015 and 2016 was 5.5 million and 2 million manat.
