Consumer credit up 4.5% in December
Total consumer credit rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.5 percent in December. A slowdown from an 8.1 percent increase in November and a 5.2 percent increase in October, noted NAFCU Chief Economist and Director of Research Curt Long in a NAFCU Macro Data Flash report Wednesday.
Non-revolving credit, which is mostly motor vehicle and education loans, increased 5.1 percent in December. However, Long noted that growth in this segment may slow amid expectations of a rise in interest rates this year.
Revolving credit growth decelerated to 2.9 percent during the month after hitting 14.4 percent in November. "Despite the slowdown," Long noted, "the outlook remains positive in light of a strong labor market and rising consumer confidence."
Total consumer credit for credit unions rose 0.4 percent in December from the previous month; that compares with a 1.7 percent increase for banks and a 0.3 percent decline for financial companies.
"Credit unions' portfolio of consumer credit grew 11.6 percent during 2016," Long added. "Credit unions now own 10.2 percent of the market, which is up from 9.7 percent a year ago." Banks' market share rose from 40.4 percent to 40.7 percent over the past year, while financial companies' share fell from 19.3 percent to 17.7 percent.

[02:27] Having a leader who can really communicate cyber risks and understand how ready that institution is to deal with cyber events is incredibly important. [05:36] We need to be talking about risk openly. We need to be documenting and really understanding what remediating risk looks like and how you do that strategically. [16:38] Governance, risk, compliance, and adherence to regulatory controls are all being looked at much more closely. You are also seeing other technology that is coming into the fold directly responsible for helping CISOs navigate those waters. [18:28] The reaction from the governing bodies is directly related to the needs of the position. They’re trying to help make sure that we are positioned in a way that gets us the most possibility of success, maturing our postures and protecting the institutions.
