After a summer of anticipation, the Federal Reserve finally began loosening monetary policy by cutting its benchmark interest rates. Now, the financial world waits on whether the Fed will do it again.
The cuts have already affected the credit union balance sheet and will continue to do so in the future. Monetary policy and today’s rate environment will shape the economy, the credit union industry, and the lives of members and communities for years to come. The credit union mission shines in moments like this, where the cooperative model makes a difference.
