The Experian Data Insights Check-In brings you key insights based on the Q3 2025 Consumer Default Index.

Experian’s CDIx

The Experian Consumer Default Index (CDI), was designed to measure the rolling default behaviour of South African consumers with Home Loan, Vehicle Loan, Personal Loan, Credit Card and Retail Loan accounts.

The CDIx provides a quarterly overview of the credit landscape in South Africa, combining the widely used CDI with views on the latest credit industry trends as well as commentary on the context within which these trends are observed.

Specifically, it provides views on the latest:

  • Macroeconomic Market Context that has a direct bearing on consumers
  • Market appetite for credit
  • Qualification and take-up of credit (i.e. new business)
  • Performance of credit consumers (i.e. arrears/defaults and vintages, CDI and Debt Review)
