Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you explain the current trends in the retail and digital sides of your business, especially given the unique US to Latin American market dynamics? A: The digital side is growing rapidly, with a 70% year-over-year increase in Q1, which has further accelerated to 80% growth in April. Retail, however, is facing challenges, with the overall market being flat. Despite this, the total principal amount sent to Latin America increased by 4% year-over-year, indicating a strong underlying market. We expect digital to continue growing at high rates, while retail may remain softer but is expected to recover over time.
