We had three very busy month - October, November and December. During the fall, the Central Bank and we were engaged by banks, which are almost at the same time to stop all payments. Roughly speaking, there were about 40 banks that were once the epicenter of this crisis wave, and the circle almost extended throughout the autumn. By the end of the year working with them has been mostly completed, and now in January we see a period of calm.
