Let me also take this opportunity to thank Pavel Maco for his long years at the helm of Home Credit Kazakhstan and currently in India. In India, Pavel led our operations through an impressive build-up from an unknown start-up into the most-recognized non-banking financial company, whose market leadership in loans under INR 10,000 is indisputable. The pace of growth within a tough, long-existing and well-established consumer finance sector has been unparalleled.
