Key metrics: year-on-year changes
Deposits, CAS and Visa issuance rates all dropped markedly year-on-year on the Enroly platform for the January 2024 intake.
When compared to January 2022, the January 2024 numbers were still slightly down.
Key markets
Nigeria saw significant year-on-year falls in deposits. Pakistan and Nepal both increased. The tables show countries with more than a 10% change.
It was a similar picture for CAS issuance at market level, as shown in the table below.
Risk level
The fall in CAS issued was driven by drops in high-risk markets. Standard risk markets and differential markets (UKVI countries listed under the differential evidence requirement) both saw increases.
