The company reported revenues of AED 412.9 million in 2020, compared to AED 603.7 in 2019. The net operating profit in 2020 was reported as AED 24.5 million.

Saeed Al Qatami, CEO of Deyaar said: “The year 2020 has witnessed big challenges as a result of the pandemic and its impacts on all sectors without exception, and we have been keen in Deyaar to ensure the continuity of all our operations during this crisis, as construction continued in our projects according to the scheduled timeline. The biggest challenge we faced was in the hospitality sector, however we trust that the hospitality business pick up and will return to grow again, especially with the efforts made by the government in taking all the precautionary measures while making great progress in the vaccination program across the country.”
