Demand
DelayedHaving said that, it is definitely a category that we expect to pick up in the second half from a demand perspective, especially given the way the interest rates have moved in the last three-odd months.
So, if you were to just look at from the broad categories' perspective, protection has grown at 27%, which is almost 3x that of the overall company growth.
