The new year is now in full swing and here is our first Problematic Loan Portfolio Overview of 2020. Besides statistics for Q4, it also contains some important updates from the previous month.

So, it’s even more important to be aware of all the accompanying risks when investing and to exercise extra caution by carrying out diligent pre-analysis of the platforms and projects you choose when deciding to invest.
