Modeling approach / Market size:

In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, namely gross domestic product (GDP), consumer price index(CPI), lending interest rate, central bank interest rate, employment rate, secured overnight financing rate (SOFR), and tax rates. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.
