Future developments

Currently, the AECB report includes the incoming and outgoing cash flow where it has only the details of loans, credit cards, and any other debt payments in UAE. In near future, AECB is planning to include each and every financial detail of a UAE resident in the credit report. This may include rent payments, utility bills, telecommunication bills, etc.

According to AECB’s recent report, it has 4.5 million residents and 2 lakhs companies listed with them. Where 71 financial and non-financial organizations provide them with the data. In order to improve transparency regarding every resident’s financial status, AECB is planning to include monthly expenses as well.

What all to be included in an AECB report?

AECB is already getting data from the telecom companies so the credit report may have your telecom bill payment history. It will include rent bills, utility bills, RTA fines, court data. Right now the monthly income is combined and provided as the incoming cash flow but further, it would be split into salary and other income sources like bonds, stocks, rents, etc.
