Surging inflation and higher borrowing costs were taking a toll on household finances during 2023, while many companies were conserving cash by delaying payments, causing severe liquidity issues across Europe. During the year, Intrum helped 5.1 million individuals to become debt free and collected SEK 105 billion for its clients. In the fast-changing and challenging economic environment, Intrum’s role in the financial ecosystem is as important as ever.

In the annual report, Andrés Rubio, Intrum’s President & CEO, comments on the strategic shift, set to strengthen Intrum’s financial profile and accelerate the company’s commercial agenda.

“For Intrum, 2023 marked a year of both external challenges and internal transformation.
