Valid as of July 9, the new Positive Registry could inject R$ 41 billion into the Goiás economy

The measure should include 980,000 consumers in the state in the credit market 

Goiás, June 18, 2019The new Cadastro Positivo model, which comes into force on July 9, could inject R$ 41 billion into the Goiás economy and provide access to credit for an additional contingent of around 980,000 consumers, which represents more than 12% of the state's total population. The figures are part of a state-by-state breakdown of a study carried out by the sector at the request of ANBC (National Association of Credit Bureaus), which also concluded that, in Brazil, the new CP has the potential to bring up to 22 million consumers into the credit market, in addition to more than R$ 1.1 trillion in the national economy. 

According to the expanded survey, Goiás, with 34.4% of defaulters, has a much lower rate than the Brazilian average, which is 40.3%. And, as should be the case in the rest of the country, the new Positive Registry tends to promote a reduction of up to 45% in defaults in the state. 

This tends to happen because the new CP will promote the automatic inclusion of all consumers, form a payment history for each citizen, whether it's credit received or ongoing services (water, electricity, gas and telephone), and establish a credit score based on this history. In other words, the model values payments made, positive data - and not just any unpaid or overdue debts. 

Comparative figures:

“The addition of more people to the credit market, the expansion of credit for those already in the market and the reliability of the credit rating as a basis for granting credit have the potential to lower interest rates on loans and financing,” observes Elias Sfeir, president of ANBC. He adds that the main benefits are social because there will be a reduction in defaults due to fairer interest rates and because stimulating the credit market is fundamental to boosting local economies and creating jobs. 

Another point to highlight in relation to the new CP is the improvement in credit for classes C, D and E. According to Sfeir, the positive registration increases the credit rating for around 60% of this population.
