Demetra Investment Public Limited provided group earnings guidance for the first nine months of 2018. For the period, the group is expected to register a profit, which will however be 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.
