- E. As at June 20, 2021, the Company has a commitment to comply with financial covenants in connection with credit that has been received from banking corporations and others. The Company is in compliance with those financial covenants.
F. The impact of the outbreak of the Coronavirus
The outbreak of the Coronavirus in Israel and globally at the beginning of 2020 have has significant economic implications. Many countries, including the State of Israel have taken drastic steps in an attempt to prevent the spread of the virus, which have had a significant impact on the economy in Israel, with the actions that have been taken having included the closure of places of work and the reduction of activity in the economy.
In light of the closing of the economy in the Corona period, the Company has taken a number of direct courses of action, which was done after it had examined the possible implications on the operations, on the one hand the Company took immediate action in order to reduce the quantity of the credit in a self-initiated manner, and in parallel it increased the interest margins, all of which was done in order to reduce risks.
The demand for credit has remained stable and has even increased, however there has been a certain level of increase in requests from drawers and customers to extend the timing of the settlement of their commitments, where the Company has taken action in certain cases, whilst exercising judgment, reviewing each case thoroughly, in order to extend and to provide relief for the drawers and the customers in relation to their repayments.
These actions have enabled the Company's customers to meet their commitments towards it during this period, and also to hedge risks. There was a marked decrease in the morbidity rates in Israel in the reporting period as a result of vaccinations being provided for the entire adult population of the state of Israel, most of the restrictions, which had been imposed, have been removed and the economy has begun to recover, which has also been apparent among the Company's customers.
After the reporting date, there has been an increase in the morbidity rates in Israel and consideration is being given to imposing new restrictions on the economy. As of the time of the publication of the report, the renewed outbreak of the Coronavirus has not had a significant and direct impact on the Company's operations. However, the Company's management is unable to assess and quantify the impact of the continuation of the renewed outbreak of the virus on the future results and on its business operations.
