Tunisian tycoon Abdelwaheb Ben Ayed’s net worth has dropped significantly since the beginning of the year, owing to a decrease in the market value of his stake in Poulina Group, a publicly traded Tunis-based conglomerate.

According to data tracked by Billionaires.Africa, Ben Ayed’s stake in Poulina Group has lost TND5.08 million ($1.66 million) in market value since the start of the year, owing to profit booking and portfolio rotation activities among investors on the Tunis Stock Exchange.

Poulina Group is a Tunisian conglomerate with active operations and interests in real estate, public works and infrastructure, wood, home appliances, and mass consumer products.

Ben Ayed, a Tunisian businessman who played a key role in the expansion of Poulina Group, owns a beneficial 3.4-percent stake in the conglomerate, making him one of the wealthiest investors on the Tunis Stock Exchange.

Poulina shares on the Tunis Stock Exchange have dropped from TND8.78 ($2.87) on Jan. 1 to TND7.95 ($2.59) at the time of writing this report, bringing its market capitalization below TND1.45 billion ($470 million).
