Welcome to the monthly origination post for February, here we go in to detail about the distribution of investments that were made and some interesting stats per country of origin. If you missed January’s post, you can check it out here. The total amount invested through the platform in February was €3,151,515, an 11% reduction since January.

Loan Origination by Country
While the distribution of investments by country were similar to the previous months, there were some slight changes again. Estonia still has the highest share of investments at 60.68%, although this has decreased from 63.5% in January and 65.29% in December. In comparison, the share has increased month-on-month in Finland from 25.23% in December, to 28.40% in January and 31.06% in February.
Over the same 3 month period, the share in Spain has only fluctuated by a total of 1.39% and now stands at 8.27% for February. While the average interest rates have only increased by 0.38% in Estonia since December, the figure in Finland has increased by 3.63%, which could provide a possible rational for investors placing more of their funds into Finnish loans.
