Event Description

The banking industry faces new challenges daily with questions arising about the housing market, access to credit, unemployment, and the result of mergers and lower profits on CRA expectations. CRA bankers and community development lenders convened to discuss issues about economic conditions and CRA compliance. Senior banking regulatory staff shared their perspectives on the global economy and recent changes to the CRA Q&A — two topics that inform your thinking about how to navigate the “choppy waters” of today’s CRA compliance requirements.
