MINISTER ROB DAVIES TO ADDRESS THE BARCLAYS CONSUMER CONFERENCE

MINISTER ROB DAVIES TO ADDRESS THE BARCLAYS CONSUMER CONFERENCE

Members of the media are invited to the Barclays Consumer Conference that will be addressed by the Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr Rob Davies:

DATE              : Monday, 7 September 2015

TIME               : 09:00 – 10:00

VENUE           : Radisson Blue Hotel
 Ganger 1, Beach Road, Cape Town

The conference will focus on Consumer credit, and in particular Credit Life Insurance and the other charges that credit providers add to the loan or purchase contract, and will be attended by both international and local fund managers and business leaders.

Research commissioned by government showed that some credit providers were not doing affordability tests, and in respect of those that were doing them, they were not done properly or consistently.

Government has introduced instruments to reduce over-indebtedness in South Africa.

Minister Davies will share with the industry about these legislative developments
