Reported bank NPL ratios are rising across African markets.

Nigerian banks saw NPL ratios rise to 4.99% in 2024, with some institutions exceeding regulatory thresholds
S&P projects further increases in nominal NPL stock

But the deeper risk may sit elsewhere.

As digital lending expands, a growing share of credit risk is:

Uncaptured in traditional reporting
Embedded in rollover behaviour
Distributed across fragmented lending platforms

This session is asking a critical question.

Are we measuring credit risk accurately — or systematically underestimating borrower stress?
