Highlights:

  • Solid earnings growth on the back of increasing sales across the business
  • In spite of energy challenges in southern Africa, carat production at 24,2 million was only marginally behind 2007
  • Sales of rough diamonds in H1 (including those through joint ventures) were US$3.3 billion, 10% higher than H1 2007, as demand from our clients has enabled the DTC to steadily increase prices during the period
