The Botswana Housing Corporation (BHC) has reported pretax profits of P38.7 million for the six months to September, nearly seven times the level seen in the corresponding period last year.

In a notice to the Botswana Stock Exchange, the Corporation noted that the improved performance was powered by rental revenues, which rose by P30 million to P169 million. The rental revenues were in turn supported by a P29 million subsidy from government received during the period.
