Saudi Arabia: Saudi Cement Co has reported a 39% rise in its third quarter net profit. The rise was attributed to increased efficiency and higher local demand. The firm made a net profit of USD52m in the three months ending 30 September 2011, compared with USD37m in the same period in 2010. The company said it had raised efficiency by using new production lines and that local demand had grown. It attributed the fall in profits from the second quarter to a seasonal decline in sales. The company posted a second quarter net profit of USD57m.
