According to statement of objects and reasons of The Credit Bureau Bill, 2015, the draft law will regulate the business of private credit bureaus. It provides comprehensive legal and regulatory framework for incorporation and functioning of credit bureaus in Pakistan.

The law provides a platform for accuracy in risk prediction. This would create rapid business benefits including increased array of credit products, improved collection rates, reduced net bad debts and low operating costs.

The strong credit risk management culture would result in healthy growth of credit, reduce risks of default and enable lending to new segments of borrowers.

These measures would stabilize financial system and contribute to sustainable economic growth in the country.
