Consumer Lending in South Africa

The South African economy has continued to struggle in 2023, as reflected by 0.4% real GDP growth, the unemployment rate stagnating beyond 32%, and the South African rand depreciating further against major currencies. Economic growth has also been constrained by persisting inflationary pressures, partly prompted by the domino effect of the war in Ukraine, leading the South African Reserve Bank to increase interest rates for the ninth consecutive time in May 2023.
