The world seems convulsed these days. No matter where you live, something significant is developing around you or about to burst.

Brazil has not been the exception. Economic slowdown and corruption allegations involving high officers in government and the private sector, have led to massive social protests. The Panama Papers only to continue to build a lack of trust on things changing easily. But Brazil is a huge economy, with very talented people and industries that can compete at world-class level. Some things need to change for sure; with a trusted leadership is just a matter of time for Brazil to come back to the right path.

On a positive note from the financial sector, early this year FEBRABAN, the Brazilian banking industry’s main federation, and Brazil’s top five banks entered into a memorandum of understanding with LexisNexis®Risk Solutions by which the latter will provide technical services for a new credit intelligence bureau that will modernize the current Brazilian credit risk information ecosystem.

The effort has the objective of financially including more Brazilians in the long run and efficiently assessing consumer credit risk, with the potential to "change lives, generate sustainable economic expansion in a world-class economy, all the while providing financial institutions with the tools to assess and manage risk more effectively" as indicated in LexisNexis®Risk Solutoins press release. It will make possible for the credit intelligence bureau to process and analyze complex, massive data sets in a matter of seconds. It is expected that the ability to process quickly large volumes of transaction data will help the credit intelligence bureau to effectively manage financial payment experiences, resulting in a bureau with a sophisticated infrastructure.

This decision by FEBRABAN, Bradesco, Banco do Brasil, Caixa Econômica Federal, Itaú Unibanco and Santander comes very handy in order to offset the effects of the country's economic moment by expanding the potential market and providing financial solutions to people that are seeing its purchasing power affected. Banks are not alone in coming up with positive initiatives as insurers have also made moves along these lines.

It’s good to see that, from the banking perspective, Brazil does not stay arms crossed waiting to see what happens; instead they are trying a good recipe to be applied in times of need: Seeking efficiency and growth, by financially including more people into the system through a more effective risk assessment.
