Compared to March, the indicator increased by 5.2%, and compared to last April - by 12.3%.

A similar trend was recorded in other credit bureaus from the top 3, according to the material.

The rating agency Moody's associates this with the recovery of economic activity and the delayed demand of citizens for loans.
