The sharp increase is boosted by strong gains in investment thanks to the bullish capital market last year, the company said in a preliminary report posted on the website of the Shanghai Stock Exchange before its annual report release.

The company's 2008 net profit was 10.07 billion yuan ($1.47 billion). Earning-per-share was 0.36 yuan.
