A statement from RFHL said this performance reflects the impact of the Group’s expansion, revenue diversification and cost management strategies, the uptick in economic activity as well as the increase in yields in the US dollar denominated financial instruments held across the Group.
«Over the past financial year, the countries in which RFHL operates continued to relax their COVID-19 protocols. Borders and schools were re-opened, restrictions on gatherings and public mask mandates were removed and almost all commercial activities resumed. The resulting resurgence of economic activity, especially in the tourism dependent economies, augured well for the group,» Pereira said.
