Demand for consumer credit gross lending is set to continue to increase in 2023, despite the South African Reserve Bank’s consecutive rises in interest rates to stabilise inflationary pressures. This trend has been driven mainly by declining disposable incomes across high- and middle-income households, with more consumers relying on credit to get to the end of the month.
