In its market announcement of the group’s unaudited result for the nine months to March 31, 2021, KFL stated this was an increase of 7 per cent from the previous year. Chairman Daryl Tarte said given the long duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic impacts had now flowed to most sectors of the economy. “Taking these impacts into account, we have increased our loan provisions, which has reduced profitability for the nine months to March 31, 2021,” he said.
