8 What is a Credit Reporting System? Legal/ Regulatory Framework Technology Individuals Databases (PCB & PCR) Institutions Standards Enables information flows relevant to making decisions related to credit and loan agreements Rules & Procedures 8

9 Why does credit information matter? Increase access to credit with lower interest rates Support bank supervision and credit risk monitoring Credit Information Sharing Reduce information asymmetries Improve borrower discipline

10 No Surprise. Countries without private credit bureaus are mainly the same.. as where access to credit is more difficult 10

11 Who participates in a credit reporting system? Users Public/Private Commercial Banks Central Banks MFIs / Leasing, etc Judiciary Tax authorities Insurers Employers Landlords Users Credit Reporting Service Providers Authorities, regulators, supervisors Data subjects Data Providers Data Providers Public/Private Commercial banks MFIs Leasing companies Credit Unions /Coops Credit card issuers Collection agencies Retailers/ Telecoms Utility providers Employers Courts

13 Ownership Structure of PCBs Industry Associations/ Chambers of Commerce 12% Partially government owned Private owned by banks/fis/ other credit providers 39% Government owned, 1% Private not owned by banks/fis/ other credit providers 44% The majority of PCBs are privately owned by non-bank private entities (i.e. global credit bureaus, funds, other private firms) A large share of the PCBs is owned by banks or FIs or other credit providers The bank vs. non-bank ownership is becoming more balanced. In 2005, non-bank private entities owned 60% of the surveyed PCBs. The third most frequent ownership model is ownership by industry associations Partial or full government ownership of PCBs is rare (e.g. Armenia, Sri Lanka, Thailand) Source: Doing Business 2012

25 Doing Business What is it? Provides measures of business regulations and their enforcement across world economies. Looks at domestic small and medium-size companies and measures the regulations applying to them through their life cycle. Launched in Doing Business 2013 is the 10 th report. First report: covered 5 indicator sets and 133 economies; Doing Business 2013: covered 11 indicator sets* and 185 economies. 2 indicator sets not included in doing business rankings: Employing Workers & Getting Electricity 25

26 Doing Business What is covered? Topic Starting a business Dealing with construction permits Registering property Getting credit Protecting investors Paying taxes Trading across borders Enforcing contracts Closing a business Description Procedures, time, cost and paid-in minimum capital to open a new business Procedures, time and cost of obtaining construction permits, inspections and utility connections Procedures, time and cost to register a transfer of commercial real estate Strength of legal rights, depth of credit information Indices of extent of disclosure, extent of director liability and ease of shareholder suits Number of tax payments, time to prepare and file tax returns and pay taxes, total taxes as a share of profit before all taxes borne Documents, time and cost to export and import Procedures, time and cost to resolve a commercial dispute in court Time, cost and outcome of insolvency proceedings involving domestic entities - recovery rate in bankruptcy 26

27 Doing Business Methodology (credit information? Affects ranking Depth of credit information: (Index from 0 to 6) 1. Data on both firms and individuals are distributed 2. Both positive and negative credit information is distributed 3. Data from retailers, trade creditors or utilities as well as financial institutions are distributed 4. 2 years or more of historical data are distributed 5. Data on all loans below 1% of income per capita are distributed 6. By law, borrowers have the right to access their data Does NOT affect ranking Public registry coverage: number of individuals/firms as a % of adult population Private bureau coverage: number of individuals/firms as a % of adult population Only impacts score if coverage is less than 0.1% of adult population

28 2013 -Where is it easier to get credit & why? 1. Malaysia Good common practices: Source: Doing Business South Africa 3. United Kingdom 4. Australia 5. Georgia 6. Hong Kong SAR, China 7. Latvia 8. Montenegro 9. New Zealand 10. Poland Cambodia was best reformer in 2013 Distribute information on all the loans. Gather historical credit information on individuals and companies. Distribute information from alternative sources, such as retailers or utility companies. Allow a wide range of assets to be used as collateral without requiring a specific description. Most of them allow out-of-court enforcement of security rights. Cambodia strengthened access to credit by establishing its first private credit bureau, which began operating in March

29 Continued challenges Reluctance/resistance by lenders to share positive data Lack of capacity/ appreciation of the value of credit bureau data for risk management Data quality issues Lack of enabling environment legislation, sometimes where it does exist Lack of enforcement of credit reporting regime by regulator/selfregulation by industry Small size of some credit markets 29
