Although COVID-19 is receding, the economic impact of the pandemic continues to impact consumer lending in Nigeria in 2022. Many people suffered unemployment and diminished disposable incomes during the last couple of years, forcing financially restricted Nigerians to apply for consumer credit.
The economic downturn has affected a lot of households and forced Nigerian consumers to seek loans from online lenders to meet urgent financial needs. This trend is growing very fast and contributing to the growth of consumer lending in 2022.
The stringent conditions of mortgages are negatively affecting the growth of mortgages/housing in Nigeria as most consumers cannot meet the conditions to obtain such a loan. Aside, from the high-interest rate for those not applying through the Federal Mortgage Bank, most banks request collateral.
The harsh economic situation in the country and the increasing rate of inflation has depleted the disposable income of many consumers in Nigeria. This has led to the growing awareness and use of e-commerce Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) platforms.
Over the forecast period, consumer lending is expected to be largely driven by digital lending with quick access to credit from banks and fintech companies. The increasing number of fintech companies providing quick loans is forcing more traditional banks to digitalise and simplify their offering to permit consumers to access fast loans.
