Federico, do these markets benefit from European ties, whether that's linguistic or just historical presence there when it comes to receivable finance?
5:22
I don't know if the, um, if they benefit from it.
5:26
Um, what we're seeing is something different.
5:29
We're seeing a big traction related to particular, let's say, industries in the region that are driving growth in factoring, and that, that is especially, um, particularly everything related to mining, for instance.
5:43
So we're talking about big corporations, uh, which, uh, translate into anchor buyers in that region.
5:50
Um, so and that can be, um, in West Africa, East Africa, Southern Africa.
5:55
So whenever you go to a place like, uh, where we are now present, let's say Burkina Faso or, um, Côte d'Ivoire or Guinea or Cameroon, Congo, you name it, Mozambique- Kenya, um, we always talk about, um, larger anchor buyers primarily from the mining sector, petrol sector, and then of course, on top of that, uh, larger telcos, uh, retailers.
