For the most part, the growth in the volume of reports in the last two years can be related to an increase in the provision of consumer and commercial credit in 2001 and 2002, as shown in the graph below. The factors that contribute to the growth in the issuance of credit can be of different natures and cannot solely be contributed to the existence of better credit information.

At present there is no competition in the CRA market. Since 2000, Buró de Crédito has been the only operating CRA in the Mexican market. Despite the reforms and incentives set forth with the rule that requires financial institutions to share their information with all the CRAs if they share it with one CRA, there are no new players in the market. Thus, to date, the rule has had no effect and financial institutions have not had the need to comply with it.


It is important to note that Senicreb still exists and is operated by Banxico. However, it's role related to providing the institutions with timely and useful information for their credit decisions has faded out. The Senicreb no longer has the technological platform necessary for the timely receipt and exchange of information and it is not intended to compete against Buró de Crédito. Nonetheless, it is still serves its banking supervision purpose. Currently, it is a useful database that is used by Banxico's Department of the Analysis of the Financial Sector to put together credit statistics, analysis of risk concentration by economic sector and other statistical information.
There is still an important concern from regulators with respect to segmented or industry focused databases resulting from the vertical integration of the banks with the Buró. Although the number of clients in the Buró de Crédito has grown in the last few years, is still relatively small. As of the time of this writing, the Buró has 709 Users of consumer credit information, of which 103 are financial entities and 606 are commercial entities. There are only 604 users of commercial or business credit information, of which 91 are financial entities and 513 are commercial entities.32 This compares unfavorably to other Latin American countries where the number of clients is in the thousands range. (See Table 2 and Table 3).
