MANAMA: Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), the Bahrain-based aluminium smelter, said its top-line and bottom-line for the second quarter and first-half of 2019 were impacted by lower LME price – a drop of 21 per cent year-over-year ($1,793/t in Q2 2019 versus $2,259/t in Q2 2018).
However, this was partially offset by higher sales volumes, said a statement from Alba .
