As we head into 2021; we do so as a very different economy. People are working from home, demand has changed, performance has changed, online activity has exploded, and whilst there are pockets of resilience, there are growing risks. Covid-19, climate risk and digitalisation are influencing how we spend, save and borrow and the peak of the economic crisis is yet to come.
With vaccinations rolling out across the UK, there is light at the end of the tunnel but understanding the huge changes taking place is vital – including the causes, risks and opportunities. The new normal for credit providers is learning how to cope with uncertainty.
Our award-winning data scientists and economists have been tracking the short and long term changes in-depth – providing you with a detailed view of what’s happened, what’s happening now and what’s likely to happen next. Using our unrivalled data sources and industry reach, we’ve delved deep into the true reality of the new credit economy and what it means for lenders.
