The credit market in Africa has been growing rapidly in recent years, and the field is becoming increasingly competitive and complicated. Credit processes and assessment standards have been evolving in the region, and problem loans and default rates in several countries have been excessive.

Regardless of the size and complexity of the transaction which determines the method used in resolving the problem loans, there are common areas of strategy, law and business skills which must be considered. The experiences of the African currency crisis and the enormous volume of non-performing loans that emerged from it have provided important lessons in the early recognition, control and proactive management of nonperforming loans.

This workshop will cover all aspects of the problem loan process, from recognizing the problem, minimizing legal risk, managing a portfolio of such loans and finally resolution of the problem. This interactive program based on real-life situations will provide you with the opportunity to discuss, debate techniques, approach to workouts, litigation and alternative approaches to handling problematic lending situations.
