Experian's Consumer Default Index (CDIx) for Q1 2024 reveals a complex picture for young South Africans, highlighting the need for both increased access to responsible credit and enhanced financial literacy. The Index by the Global Credit Bureau measures the rolling default behaviour of South African consumers with Home Loans, Vehicle Loans, Personal Loan, Credit Card, and Retail Loan accounts.
