The decision was taken at the company's board meeting on Jan 6, and formally announced to the Dubai Financial Market in a statement yesterday. Tamweel declined to comment further. A spokesman referred questions on the state of the merger of Tamweel with Amlak, the nation's largest home lender, to the Ministry of Finance, which is overseeing the process. Mohammed Gargash, who is in charge of disclosure at the Dubai Financial Market, said Tamweel might be permitted to file such decisions late.
