Christopher Erasmus

I am an enthusiastic and driven individual that is always looking to challenge myself and continue learning. Currently, I am awaiting the results for my treatise submission towards a master’s degree in economics for graduation in April 2024. My academic journey has honed my analytical skills, understanding of economics trends and the financial system as a whole. My honours treatise focused on the relationship between bank credit and economic growth, which is a reflection of my passion for understanding the credit market and dynamics of financial systems. Driven by a keen interest in assessing debt, I am eager to apply my knowledge to real-world scenarios and contribute effectively towards managing and mitigating credit risk at a banking institution.
