This year’s report highlights MI’s progress in generating value to its wide array of stakeholders, banking on the integrated thinking and a business model unique to MI’s culture and ethos.

The pinnacle being the posting of an impressive pre-tax profit of Rs. 879 million and a post-tax profit of Rs. 514 million , up by 180% and 154% respectively year on year, for the financial year 2017/18, which signifies MI’s commitment in growing investor wealth.
