Taking into account the strengthened market positions of DelfinGroup in the central business segments and the continued demand for accessible, simple and customer-oriented financial services, convincing results of lending and retail sales were also achieved in the fourth quarter. However, at the same time, DelfinGroup faces external factors that affect the company's overall financial performance. Above all, the general rise in rates currently observed in the capital market is increasing DelfinGroup cost of financing. As a result, as the company's loan portfolio develops, the cost of financial resources to ensure portfolio growth also increases. However, DelfinGroup diversifies its funding sources through bond financing, the Mintos P2P platform, and equity to ensure the lowest possible funding costs.
