DUBAI (Zawya Dow Jones)--Dubai-based Islamic mortgage company Tamweel PJSC said Sunday net profit in the third quarter more than doubled to 15.7 million UAE dirhams ($4.27 million), from AED7.3 million in the same period last year, as it set aside less cash for impairments.

"Despite volatile conditions globally, the U.A.E. continues to experience strong growth, which is reflected in the increasing stability of the country's property sector. As this important sector continues its sustained recovery, Tamweel will remain at the forefront of home finance by providing innovative home finance solutions," said Tamweel Chairman Abdulla Ali Al Hamli in an emailed statement.

Impairment provisions i nthe third quarter amounted to AED13.5 million, compared with AED46.6 million a year earlier.

The company posted a net profit of AED70.7 million for the first nine months of 2011, an almost four-fold increase from AED17.9 million in the same period last year.

"These positive results highlight our ability to achieve consistent profitability by providing products and services tailored to meet the evolving needs of homeowners. Indeed, we believe that our sustained success is a reflection of our customer-centric focus as an organisation," said Varun Sood, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Tamweel .
