Write- off rates decreased reflecting portfolio growth and the impact of lower charge offs in 2021 due to the benefit of government support schemes . Germany consumer lending: 30 day arrears rate increased to 1.7% (2021: 1.5%) due to increased macroeconomic uncertainty in Europe, though the rate was consistent with pre-pandemic levels.
