Chairman Fryzel Statement on the Ongoing Resolution of the Corporate Credit Union Situation
|
12/31/1969 07:00 PM

May 21, 2009, Alexandria, Va. -
“In many ways, yesterday’s events marked the culmination of a very difficult chapter in NCUA’s efforts to resolve the difficulties facing corporate credit unions, and the credit union industry as a whole. The President signed NCUA’s Corporate Stabilization Plan into law, and in doing so provides a responsible and pragmatic mechanism for credit unions to maintain a strong federal insurance fund in a financially manageable manner. The Congressional interest demonstrated at the House Financial Institutions Subcommittee hearing was a further indication of the importance Congress has placed on the NCUA and the industry joining together to find workable solutions, just as past Congressional actions such as the raising of the CLF borrowing authority showed real commitment to proactivity and contingency-oriented policies.
