Effective credit reporting systems can mitigate a number of market failures. They reduces problems of adverse selection and
asymmetric information between borrowers and lenders. This reduces default risk and improves the allocation of new credit.
Promotes a responsible "credit culture" by discouraging excessive debt and rewarding responsible borrowing and repayment.
Allows borrowers to build a credit history to access credit. Especially beneficial for small enterprises and new borrowers with limited
physical collateral.
Evidence from the financial crisis suggests that positive credit information helped to safeguard the financial access of creditworthy
borrowers that would have otherwise been cut off from institutional credit.
