International Investment Group - Denies "Success" in Repaying Debts



This morning IIG announced on the KSE and BSE that the news in this morning's Al Watan about it successfully paying some US$18 million in debt was in error.

It seems success is not only fleeting, but sometimes it doesn't occur at all.

Was on vacation so did not see before - but would not have believed it anyway. That money is long gone.

Welcome back!

No doubt the money was put to good use.

If punting in cross-shreholdings in companies with no true economic purpose is "good" then perhaps - but only perhaps.

I'll bet a lot of the money turned up in the pockets of the deserving rich.

Though having known a few Kuwaiti punters in my day, a lot of it may have just been whistled away. They really do often believe in imaginary values.
