“The growth of the market . . . is staggering. But when I say that to mostly international investors when we start discussing the mortgage market, they are sometimes frightened by the numbers, because it is unheard of having a market that over four years grows [this fast]. But people have to take a step back and to realise that we are starting from a very low point.”
