Controversial debt-relief law taking a bite out of earnings, says TFG

Clothing group TFG says it had seen solid growth in cash turnover the first 21 weeks of its 2020 financial year, but credit extension remained almost flat in Africa due to new debt-relief laws in SA.

President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the bill into law earlier in August, setting the stage for overindebted consumers to have payments suspended, in part or full, for as many as two years, or even cancelled if they remained financially distressed. Group online turnover jumped 9.9% over the period, now constituting 9.3% to total turnover. TFG Africa's online sales jumped 58.5% and TFG Australia's 32.6%, while TFG London saw a 1.5% decline.
