Without the collateral that traditional banking systems frequently demand, access to loans is difficult in the most African nations.
Better to avoid loans anyway. People can easily get into huge debts. I am not from Africa, but this is personal family experience. In my country (in Hungary) people can easily get a loan three times bigger as their income.
My brother have huge debt. Around 600 000 Hungarian Forint (HUF), which is currently $1555.37 USD, because $1 USD is currently 385.76 Hungarian Forint (HUF). If everything will go right, then he will pay this debt in two years.
And this is only one example. I heard about people, who take loan after loan.
Yes, loans can put you in serious debt, but you can still benefit from them if you have solid plans in place before applying for one. Loans should not be used to buy assets that will not generate income for you; instead, you should only use them for purposes that will enable you to pay back the loan. It is a good idea to take out a loan for any lucrative venture since you can eventually make enough money to pay off the debt and acquire the assets. That's what Many rich people do; they borrow money from banks and invest it in their businesses before quickly repaying the loan to avoid accruing interest.
I started my first business with a loan and was able to pay it off fast while keeping the firm running and bringing in more profits, all because I had strong plans in place before receiving the loan. I was able to acquire the loan since I was a government employee, and receiving a loan as a salaried worker in Ghana is not difficult. It is not the same for those who have great ideas but lack the financial resources to bring them into reality; a loan could help them in some ways, but lacking what it takes to secure.
So a loan is not always a bad thing; it all depends on how you work around it and what you want to accomplish with it. With cryptocurrency, there are now various ways that users can generate passive income and subsequently invest without having to take out loans for any endeavor.
