Business Day Spotlight

The ability of households to take on and manage debt is the central focus in this edition of the Business Day Spotlight. Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by Johan Gellatly, MD of Altron Fintech, together with Dr Roelof Botha, economic advisor to Optimum Investment Group. Topics of discussion include: how the Afhri index was created; Altron’s reasons for creating an index; key findings from the first index results; ways in which the data can be applied in business and economics; the importance of micro lending in SA; a preview of Altron’s other index set to be released in September.
