East Africa's credit landscape is evolving rapidly. Tala and Bayport dominate lending, but InfraCredit's guarantee model is unlocking funding for local lenders. Business leaders see credit as crucial for growth but express concerns about over-indebtedness. Local challenger banks and fintechs are emerging, offering innovative credit solutions tailored to the market's unique needs.
