It gives me great pleasure to present Siraj Finance Annual Report for 2021. With the market challenges witnessed due to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic over the past two years, the net profits from our business reached AED 15.9 Million mainly from revenue from financing assets and trade finance business. This would have not been achieved without the support of valued customers and the loyalty of our esteemed management and employees. Siraj Finance is focusing on seeking new opportunities to steer the company towards a brighter future.
