Abstract:
Despite robust economic growth in post-apartheid South Africa, we have consistently seen high unemployment and severe income inequality amongst its people. Arguably this has resulted in a culture of dependence on consumer credit; consumers are spending future income by using credit. This could result in a decrease in household savings levels amongst ordinary South Africans. Many studies have referred to an increase in consumer credit to supplement people’s income support or to offset low wages. This has a major impact on consumers who then find themselves over-indebted due to economic shocks a

This gives the credit market its microeconomic and welfare objectives. However, consumer credit can be a dangerous product if households allow themselves to get over-extended.

Abstract:
This study follows a three–pronged approach to investigate the effects of the global financial crisis on the South African retail credit market (using Woolworths as subject). These three prongs, or areas, include a literature study, step–by–step credit scoring guide and an application of this guide in an empirical study. To achieve this goal, credit scoring was selected as the quantitative tool to illustrate these effects. Two different periods were chosen to supply a snapshot of the retail credit industry, namely the retail credit situation before and during the global financial crisis. To co

Abstract:
The National Credit Act 34 of 2005 introduced the concept of reckless lending into the South African credit market. It set out a regulatory framework in chapter 4 part D that provided for the credit provider s assessment of certain aspects relating to the consumer prior to the lending of credit. This assessment, inter alia, meant assessing the consumer s financial means and prospects, debt repayment history and general understanding of the risks and obligations. The obligation placed on credit providers to conduct an assessment originally stated that such credit provider must take reasonable s

Abstract:
The financial crisis that struck financial markets in 2008 was devastating for the global economy. The impact continues to be felt in the market - most recently in sovereign defaults. 1 There are many questions as to the origin of the crisis and how the same events may be prevented in the future. This dissertation explores two financial instruments: securitisation and credit default swaps (CDSs) and attempts to establish the role they played in the financial crisis. To fully understand the events that unfolded before and during the crisis, a sound theoretical understanding of these instruments

M.Com. (Economic Management)<br>South Africa, as a developing country, has an enormous need for capital. Between 1980 to 1983, an amount of RBO billion was spent on fixed capital investment alone in this country. A large component of this investment originates from external sources and was financed by way of off-shore loans and other credit facilities. The developed countries, in order to promote their exports, have long realised that in addition to offering a competitive price and high quality product, competition also required that credit be made available to the importer.

LL.M. (Commercial Law)<br>When a debtor runs into financial problems and starts neglecting to satisfy his financial obligations as and when they fall due, there are various statutory procedures or remedies available to both the debtor and his creditor(s). The first and most obvious remedy available to the creditor is to demand the satisfaction of the outstanding claim by the issuance of a letter of demand, followed by a summons and subsequent court proceedings in which the creditor will claim what is due to him. If the debtor still neglects to satisfy the judgement debt, the creditor may proce

Abstract:
In the literature there are mixed results on the link between credit and agricultural output growth. Some authors argue that credit leads to growth in agricultural output. Others view growth as one of the factors that influence credit supply, thus growth leads and credit follows. By and large, studies have not endeavoured to establish the short-run impact of agricultural credit on output. They are generally limited in establishing the long-run relationship between credit and agricultural output and thus present a research gap in this respect. This study contributes to the existing body of lit

M.Phil. (Economics)<br>There has been increasing focus on banking system stability worldwide, particularly due to the recent financial crisis experienced and the resultant adverse economic effects. In the case of a developing country like South Africa (SA), the stability of the banking system is even more important as it is crucial for the achievement of the country’s development goals. Credit extension is also a core component for facilitating economic and social development in the country. The downside risk attached to credit extension is that once it reaches a point of being excessive it ca

Abstract:
The high household debt level, as seen in recent years, has been a concern for many governments and financial institutions because of the decline in the well-being of households and the financial burden indebted households pose on the economy. A household that cannot afford to service its debt repayments will ultimately experience a decrease in its standard of living, and many other essential monthly expenses such as school fees may be “crowded out” by the debt repayments. An alarming trend is the high levels of debt that households have indulged in, with little regard for the negative conseq
