Nova EBR Update 2023 March

Nova Credit Announces Estimated Bankruptcy Rate 0.170% in 2023 Q1 According to the latest macro-economic data (as of 2 March 2023) and the unemployment rate (provisional figures), NOVA announces the latest estimated bankruptcy rate for the next 12 months at 0.170%, which is equivalent to 9,520 bankruptcy cases by the end of February 2024 for 5.6 million credit population in Hong Kong. Calculation of this estimated bankruptcy rate is based on the latest macro-economic data up to 2 March 2023. According to the statistics released by the Census and Statistics Department, the year-on-year percentage change of GDP as of Q4 2022 is -4.2%, which affects the predicted bankruptcy rate. However, the impact was offset by the decline in unemployment. The unemployment rate decreased by 0.3% to 3.4% in January 2023 compared to November 2022. We expected that Hong Kong's economy will rebound significantly in 2023, as estimated by the HKSAR government. We will continuously monitor the macro-economic environment and its impact on the number of bankruptcy cases accordingly, and leverage innovative technology for sharing valuable findings with the banking sector for making more accurate and timely business decisions.

Mr. Samuel Ho, CEO of NOVA in his welcome speech, reviewed the company's journey towards being selected, including how the company overcame market changes and challenges. Samuel also introduced NOVA's future development strategy, particularly focusing on strengthening its products and services in credit reference services and credit risk management, cross-boundary data connectivity, and FinTech solutions. Many guests at the event responded positively to Samuel’s sharing of NOVA's future development projects. NOVA appreciated the guests' positive feedback. We believed that the opinions shared during the event would help improve our services and drive NOVA towards a better direction.

Nova EBR Update 2022 Q4

Nova Credit Announces Estimated Bankruptcy Rate 0.176% in Q4 2022 According to the latest macro-economic data (as of 6 January 2023) and the unemployment rate (provisional figures), NOVA announces the latest estimated bankruptcy rate for the next 12 months at 0.176%, which is equivalent to 9,856 bankruptcy cases by the end of December 2023 for 5.6 million credit population in Hong Kong. (LinkedIn Post) Calculation of this estimated bankruptcy rate is based on the latest macro-economic data up to 6 January 2023. According to the statistics released by the Census and Statistics Department, the year-on-year percentage change of GDP as of Q3 2022 is -4.5%, and the unemployment rate decreased from 4.3% as of July 2022 to 3.7% as of November 2022. Although GDP has contracted year-on-year for three consecutive quarters, in Q3 the epidemic has begun to slow down and the labour market has further improved, most of the negative impact of GDP in the estimated bankruptcy rate has been offset by the impact of the unemployment rate. We will continuously monitor the macro-economic environment and its impact on the number of bankruptcy cases accordingly, and leverage innovative technology for sharing valuable findings with the banking sector for making more accurate and timely business decisions.
