The Experian Business Debt Index (BDI) combines Macro-economic metrics (like GDP) with Bureau metrics (in the form of Debt Age ratio’s) to provide a view on the prevalent business conditions in South Africa. The metric is demeaned and standardized, so that the BDI value is distributed around zero: A positive BDI signifies ‘Improving business conditions’, whilst a negative BDI indicates that business conditions are deteriorating. The Bureau metrics provide a view on the degree to which debtors are overdue agreed payment terms for invoiced amounts and are referred to as ‘Debt Age Ratio’s’. This data is provided by subscribers to the ‘Portfolio’ product here at Experian.
