Based on this analysis, DAT would stand to lose around SR 5.75 million which includes direct losses from the postponed payment and indirect loss from not collecting the servicing fees from investors.
To put things in perspective, Amlak’s affected portfolio is comprised of around 500 customers only with monthly collections of around SR 4 million. So, postponing a monthly payment would not be that costly to them. DAT’s monthly collections from public sector customers for owned and managed portfolios, however, are more than SR 37 million. If a decision is made by SAMA, which we doubt that they would do, to require everyone to postpone a monthly payment for home finance loans, then the total impact on DAT and the investors would be more than SR21 million.
