CUNA Mutual: 2011 Another Challenging Year for Credit Unions

Dave Colby of CUNA Mutual's Chief Economist stated that 2011 will be another challenging year for credit unions.

Accoring to Colby, "[t]he past two years were extremely challenging to CU leadership ... I am sorry to report that I believe 2011 will be just as challenging as 2009 and 2010."

While Colby believes that credit quality issues will become less of a drag on credit union performance, more premium assessments, regulatory costs and reduced non-spread revenue opportunities will adversely impact credit union performance in 2011.

He noted that the biggest challenge facing credit unions is growing loans, as consumers continue to deleverage.
