Business review Chief Executives review 25
The acquisition, which is expected
to complete later this calendar year,
will build on the strength we have
established in Brazil. We are excited
by the potential to bring Experians
global expertise to these markets and
by the attractive market fundamentals,
particularly in Colombia.
In the United Kingdom, both credit
supply and demand remained muted,
holding back progress in Credit
Services. That said, new entrants
in the nancial services sector are
expanding the lending market, creating
new opportunities for Experian. We are
also beneting from the investments we
have made in new customer segments,
which are progressing well. We have
seen some recovery in Decision
Analytics as appetite increases for
our analytics and our fraud prevention
and risk management software.
