GuocoLand's net profit soars 161.5% to $29.6m
Thanks to higher sales in its residential projects.
Property developer GuocoLand recorded a whopping 161.5% increase in net profits for the quarter ending in March.

This came as revenue grew by 63% to $271m, whilst gross profit ended the quarter with a $28% improvement to $63.2m.
The robust numbers were contributed by higher sales and recognition of revenues from the group's residential projects.
