I am delighted to share that we launched our Retail and Consumer Lending services for banks this quarter. We anticipate that loan volumes will increase over a period as the economy gradually recovers from the impact of the pandemic. Our mortgage underwriting, due diligence and loan servicing capabilities will give our clients a competitive edge at this critical juncture to help them improve speed to market and optimise their lending processes.

As we look forward to 2022, I would like to thank all of our clients for your continued association and valuable interactions in 2021, and I wish you a wonderful holiday season and a happy and prosperous new year.
