ICAP CRIF BULGARIA’s Post

I would add that knowledge gained through direct implementation and practice is invaluable. The insights derived from working on the ground 🌍, engaging with communities 🤝, and witnessing firsthand the challenges and successes 💪, provide a deeper understanding than theoretical approaches alone can offer 📚. Inter-American Development Bank has taken advantage of this unique perspective 👀 to better support development on the ground, fostering long-term change 🌱 and empowerment 💡 in Latin America and the Caribbean 🌎.

We need more time to fully assess what impact the EU's framework for financial data access (FIDA) will have on the financial services sector and - fundamentally – consumers. This is vital to ensure the data economy supports – not hinders - European competitiveness.    This is the key message of our statement published today which Insurance Europe signed together with AFME (Association for Financial Markets in Europe), the European Association of Co-operative Banks, European Banking Federation, EFAMA, WSBI-ESBG).    #FIDA #InsuranceMatters #HU24EU

I am excited to share my experience from the recent International Committee on Credit Reporting (ICCR) conference, organized by The World Bank in the vibrant capital of Brazil. As CEO of Biuro Informacji Kredytowej S.A. and President of ACCIS I had the privilege of participating in three fascinating debates: • Collaboration with regulators and the private sector to promote stability and inclusivity, • Digital financial services and BNPL in the context of data reporting and analysis, • Collecting data from the financial sector during crises, with examples from the USA, Brazil, and Europe.   The ICCR conference was not just about sharing perspectives but also about creating a vision for the future. The cooperation between private credit bureaus and public credit registers is the key enabler for financial inclusion of individuals and stability of financial sectors. #BNPL and digital lending should be fully reported to credit bureaus. Global examples show that during crises crucial is data integrity and continuity of reporting to credit bureaus.   A big thank you to The World Bank and Banco Central do Brasil for the hospitality. Thank you debate participants for your openness and valuable exchange of opinions: Rogerio Rabelo Peixoto, Elias Sfeir, Jeannine Naudé Viljoen, Diego Perez, Arnaldo Neves, Collen Masunda - (FCCA, CDFA, RPAC, Fulbright Fellow). #ICCR2024 #WorldBank #CreditReporting #FinancialInnovation #FinancialInclusion #Sustainability #FutureVision #BIK #ACCIS
