Impact of the Pandemic

“During 2020, the global outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic and restrictions imposed by the governments tested the Company’s operating model and operational resilience,” the filing stated. “In response to the unprecedented market volume, the Company reassessed its business plan and refocused its efforts to provide liquidity in its key markets.”

“The Company’s continuous investments in technology, operational resilience and business continuity in planning enabled its capacity to respond to these challenges and increase its trading volume during the period in line with demand.”

Moreover, the Citadel Securities Group affiliate mentioned the impact of Brexit on the industry but highlighted that the exit of the UK from the European bloc did not affect its business as the company already made preparations for all scenarios.

“The profit of the year… reflects both the Company’s increase in trading activity and revenue, as well as the strong performance of the CS Group as a whole for whom it provides various services,” the filing added.
