Intelligence Africa covers over 1,400 Entities across Africa

Intelligence Africa has developed a proprietary database of over 1,400 Unadjusted Credit Assessments (UCAs) covering financial institutions, corporates, insurers and financial service providers across Africa. This extensive coverage provides a robust empirical foundation for comparative credit analysis across countries, sectors, and economic cycles.

A UCA represents the pure, model-driven assessment of an entity’s standalone credit profile, derived from audited financial data and standardized quantitative scorecards. It reflects underlying solvency and liquidity strength before the application of qualitative overlays or adjustments.
