The Malaysian operations of Genting Malaysia Bhd should “turn around after the second quarter” this year, but the “drag” on the group caused by an associate, Empire Resorts Inc – which runs Resorts World Catskills, in upstate New York in the United States – “needs to be resolved soon,” said a Wednesday note from the Nomura banking group.
While Genting Malaysia’s first-quarter earnings “will likely be impacted due to an approximately one-month closure” of its flagship Resorts World Genting casino resort (pictured) near the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, “second-quarter 2021 onwards should improve, in our view, led by… progress” in the drive to vaccinate consumers around the region against Covid-19, wrote Nomura analysts Tushar Mohata and Alpa Aggarwal.

A ferry provider s extended wait for the Government to approve the relaunch of its Grand Bahama service was yesterday branded crazy and embarrassing by its local representative.
James Turner told Tribune Business that Freeport entrepreneurs, and efforts to restart the island s tourism economy, were both suffering due to the near two-month wait for the Government to complete its evaluation of Baleària Caribbean s bid to resume sailing from Fort Lauderdale.
