Read the Latest Issue of “The NCUA Report” Online

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (July 20, 2016) – The United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union and the stock market’s reaction to the vote shows that credit unions need to ready for a number of potential economic and interest rate scenarios.

In the latest issue of the National Credit Union Administration’s monthly newsletter, an analysis by the Office of the Chief Economist finds that Brexit could potentially affect the energy and manufacturing sectors leading to slower economic growth in the United States, as well as push long-term rates down, further compressing credit union net interest margins.
