Any step taken to provide additional financial solutions in Africa should be strongly supported. This is to imply that auto financing, which entails offering simple access to automobile loans to those in need and allowing them to pay overtime, is a fantastic concept that could help reduce mobility poverty while also providing more employment possibilities.
