Why is 2017 showing the lowest recovery rate?

On first glance, this may appear to show that the success of our recoveries process has slightly decreased since 2014. However, it is important to note that the latest year will almost always show the lowest recovery rate. Quite simply, this is because the P2P loan is moving through our 3-step collection process and is not yet generating a cash flow or has only recently started generating a cash flow.

A total of €6,945,972 was recovered between 2014 – 2017, an increase of 3.1% since last month.

An increase of 8.8% in Estonia compared to last month

In 2017, the largest amount of cash recovered was in Estonia with a total amount of €731,961, an increase of 8.8% on the absolute amount since last month. Thanks to the large increase in recoveries in Estonia, it is ahead of Finland (43.7%, €465,402), now with the highest rate of recovery in 2017 (46.6%). It’s important to remember that these statistics will continue to change over the coming months, we explain why in the next section.

Historically, recovery rates have always been the highest in Estonia. Take 2014 as an example – the rate for this period is 78.4% and a huge €872,135 recovered. Looking backward from 2017, you can see the rate of recovery increase over each year in Estonia as more time is allowed for the cash flow to come in.

Why have the figures changed since last month?

After a month or a year ends, investors still receive a cash flow from this period when the P2P loans were issued. For example, we may still receive a monthly cash flow from a loan that defaulted in 2014. Due to this, the data is consistently being collected and updated to reflect the changes.
