BEIJING - Shanghai-listed China Coal Energy company Ltd., one of the country's leading coal producers, said Sunday night its 2008 profit rose 17.7 percent year on year amid rising coal price and production.

The company said in its annual report that net profit was 6.81 billion yuan (about US$1 billion), or 0.52 yuan per share in 2008 under the domestic accounting rule and 7.1 billion yuan under the international accounting rule.
