Abstract
A number of regulators and quasi regulatory bodies collect and publish a range of datasets relating to housing and housing finance in South Africa. This paper reviews data pertaining to the so-called FSC market in South Africa. It explores some initial thoughts as to what data we might want to see in order to support the development of an ‘inclusive’ housing finance sector, with a particular, although not exclusive focus on mortgages and calls for a more open, strategic approach. It takes as its starting point the Financial Sector Charter.
