The AFSCI Index tracks the economic impact of short-term lending in South Africa, with a view to assisting credit providers in the critical micro-finance sector in their assessment of risk and credit extension, and in building a deeper understanding of the role that this form of credit plays in the South African economy and society.
The AFSCI Index has been developed on behalf of Altron FinTech by Keith Lockwood, an independent economic consultant and adjunct faculty member of the Gordon Institute of Business Science.
