Rising indicators, against decreasing financial overheads !
The Turnover of the TPR increased from 33,417 MDT to 37,867 MDT, between September 1st 2007 and September 1st 2008, registering a 13% growth and providing the value of 4,450 MDT. This is thanks to the local turnover which increased, during this period from 22,7 MDT to 25,3 MDT, and the export turnover which provided gains of 1.8 MDT rising from 10,6 MDT to 12.5 MDT. The same rate of 13% was also registered, over the same period, by the exploitation products which increased from 33,5 MDT to 37,9 MDT and providing profits of about 4,5 MDT. But the highest growth concerns production. It is of 18%, and provided 5,9 MDT of profits, rising from 32,8 to 38,7 MDT. The added value, with a growth of 24%, increased from 8,7 to 10,7 MDT. On the other hand, the net financial overheads of the enterprise were among the few negative variations of the TPR, it decreased by about -63%, from 932,348 thousand dinars to 345,7 thousand DT. The Turnover of the TPR registered during the first semester 2008 amounts to 25 309 300 DT compared to 22 731 700 DT during the first semester 2007.
