Nirmal Jain, chairman, IIFL Finance, commented on the financial results: "Although economic growth and macro headline numbers are yet to show a perceptible improvement, credit demand and liquidity show green shoots. IIFL Finance's performance in the quarter under review indicates all-round improvement in the operating environment. IIFL also benefits from softening of competitive intensity in core segments. In the quarter ended December 31, 2019, there was a marked uptick in credit growth as well as long term borrowings."

Sumit Bali, CEO, commented on the financial results: "We continue to make progress on our strategy to grow core assets. Asset quality continues to be satisfactory in an environment of slowing growth in the economy. We have seen improvement in the liquidity flow to us and expect this trend to continue."

IIFL Finance, through its subsidiaries, offers a wide spectrum of products such as home loan, gold loan, business loan, microfinance, capital market finance and developer & construction finance to a vast customer base of about 30 lakh customers. IIFL Finance has widened its pan-India reach through extensive network of branches spread across the country and various digital channels.
