Qatari real estate developer Barwa reported an 8.3 percent decline in nine-month profit on Wednesday, citing the postponed sales of assets due to poor market conditions.

Net profit fell to 299 million riyals ($82.19 million) for the nine months ended Sept 30, down from 326 million riyals in the year-earlier period, the company said in a statement on the bourse website. It did not give a quarterly figure.

"The reason for the slight decline is due to postponing the sale of investment opportunities, which are expected to be concluded whenever the market conditions are more favorable," Barwa said.
