Day 1: Introduction to the Challenge 📢 Day 1/100: The Journey Begins! I'm embarking on a 100-day challenge to share insights, progress, and lessons learned as I build a data-driven credit scoring model tailored for Buy-Now-Pay-Later (BNPL) services in Ethiopia's fintech space. 🚀
Why this topic? BNPL is reshaping financial inclusion, and robust credit scoring is the backbone of sustainable lending. Follow along as I explore data, algorithms, and strategies to make this happen!

The S&P 500 fell 1.3% to 4,204.36, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.7% to 32,943.33. The Dow posted a fifth straight weekly loss — its longest losing streak since 2019. The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 2.2% to 12,843.81. Though all three indexes opened in the green, stocks took a turn after a new report showed U.S. consumer sentiment deteriorated more than expected in early March as consumers' inflation expectations soared to the highest since 1981. Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Kyiv-based lawyer and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, called Durov’s position "very weak," and urged concrete improvements. Recently, Durav wrote on his Telegram channel that users' right to privacy, in light of the war in Ukraine, is "sacred, now more than ever." He adds: "Telegram has become my primary news source." And indeed, volatility has been a hallmark of the market environment so far in 2022, with the S&P 500 still down more than 10% for the year-to-date after first sliding into a correction last month. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, has held at a lofty level of more than 30.
