Title: Micro Finance and Credit Information Sharing: Emerging Trends


1
Micro Finance and Credit Information Sharing
Emerging Trends Key Issues
Public Policy for Credit Reporting
Systems Beijing, China September 28-30, 2004
  • Lisa M. Taber
  • Financial Sector Operations and Policy Department
  • The World Bank

Credit information sharing contributes to
  • Lower interest rates
  • More sustainable debt levels
  • Better access to finance

Small micro businesses, and lower-income
consumers, should benefit at least as much as
others because
  • Relatively higher costs of smaller loans
  • Poor collateral
  • Poor proof of income

Essential data qualities
  • Accuracy
  • Timeliness
  • Comprehensiveness

Positive negative data from all sources
3
Some sources of micro credit information
  • Micro Credit Institutions (MCIs) NGOs,
    for-profit lenders and cooperatives
  • Banks NBFIs
  • Wholesale retail merchants (e.g. vendors of
    consumer goods, durables or agricultural or
    industrial inputs)
  • Public utility companies (gas, water,
    electricity, (cellular) telephone)
  • Post dated checks
  • Other businesses (accounts receivables)

WB Study of Micro Credit Information
SharingPhase 1
  • Where how is micro credit information being
    formally shared?
  • Litmus Test Inclusion of Micro Credit
    Institutions
  • (MCIs) MC NGOs For-Profit Micro Lenders
  • What is the scope of micro credit information
    sharing?
  • What are the main factors key issues that
    determine the scope of micro credit information
    sharing?

5
Market structure of selected countries w/ formal
micro credit information-sharing
Micro credit reporting is also under development
in
  • Albania
  • Montenegro
  • Pakistan
  • Morocco
  • Russia
  • Armenia
  • Uganda
  • Ecuador

Micro Credit Specialized Registry ONLY NICARAGUA
Very few merchants consult
Socio- Demographic data Public
Registries E.g.. courts, liens
Utilities
Micro Credit Registry
12 MCI s report consult
7
Markets w/Micro Credit Registries
Only(Nicaragua, Haiti, Benin)
  • Contributing Factors
  • Critical mass of MCIs
  • No other private credit registries exist
  • Donor support for micro credit registry
  • Key Issues
  • Will there be sufficient volume/participation of
    MCIs to cover costs or make profit?
  • Can micro credit registries become a platform for
    the growth of inclusive registries or will they
    become silos?

2 banks report their MC portfolios

4 MCIs report, and 10 consult

Micro Non-Micro Specialized Registries(Guatemal
a, El Salvador)
  • Contributing Factors
  • Critical mass of MCIs, donor support for micro
    registry
  • No credit registry existed or would accept MCIs
    as members
  • Key Issues
  • No private credit registry has all data from any
    one sector
  • Small portion of MCIs participate
  • Sharing of bank/NBFI data is very limited
  • Will micro non-micro registries merge?
    cooperate? stay segmented/ fragmented?

Micro Non-Micro Specialized Registries(South
Africa)
  • Contributing Factors
  • Debt crisis sparked regulatory reforms
  • mandatory micro credit reporting
  • Competitive, private micro credit registries were
    already in place
  • Key Issues
  • Contractual arrangements allow one stop
    consultation of micro non-micro data
  • Significant costs for smaller MCIs
  • Reporting requirements data access for banks
    vs. micro lenders is this a level playing field?
  • How segmented is this market?
  • Have micro borrowers benefited?

Inclusive Credit Registries Only (Colombia,
Peru, Brazil, Bosnia, Philippines)
  • Contributing Factors
  • Bosnia Philippines government donor
    appeals/support for inclusion of micro credit
    providers
  • Colombia, Peru, Brazil Competition in credit
    information markets incentives to collect
    more data
  • Key Issues
  • Significant gaps in data still exist, e.g.
  • Brazil Philippines mostly negative data
    sharing
  • Lack of socio-demographic data most countries
  • Relatively few MCIs participatewill downscaling
    occur organically as markets develop?

Integrating micro credit information
  • When does it make sense? Depends on
  • Numbers of formal creditors
  • Degree of client overlap
  • How feasible is it? Depends on
  • Ability to distinguish borrowers --unique IDs
  • Level of development Scale of MCI operations
  • Problems of data quality/timeliness of reporting
  • Revenues must cover IT investments consultation
    fees
  • Demand for micro borrower data

17
How to achieve better integration?
  • Private Sector
  • Organize into associations to
  • Lobby credit registries for inclusion
  • Standardize reporting, validate data
  • Batch data transmission/consultations, negotiate
    lower prices?
  • Segment portfolios
  • For MCIs report only larger loans?
  • For banks/NBFIs separate micro/non-micro
    portfolio for data sharing purposes?

18
How to achieve better integration?
  • Public sector
  • Mandate credit information sharing?
  • Build the capacity of MCIs/Associations to share
    data?
  • Condition MCI support on information sharing?
  • Educate different creditors the public re
    benefits of sharing application of
    comprehensive credit information
