Chennai, November 01, 2022: The Board of Directors of CIFCL today announced the unaudited financial results for the quarter and half year ended 30 th September 2022.

Highlights:
Central banks across the world have hiked the interest rate in response to high inflation. This may lead to possible global recession and financial crisis in emerging market and developing economies. Despite the grim outlook India is the fastest growing economy in the world. IMF has projected 6.8% growth for India in FY2022-23. While India could fare well relatively, it faces headwinds from imminent global demand and trade slowdown, risks of higher global inflation and interest rates, and a strengthening US dollar. Despite these factors, Chola has achieved its highest ever quarterly disbursals which was possible through our diversified product mix, and this will help sustain the momentum moving onto the festival season ahead.
