CUNA Releases Updated Share Insurance Calculator

WASHINGTON—CUNA has released an updated version of its share insurance fund distribution calculator tool, designed to help credit unions estimate the amount of their distribution from the $160 million announced by NCUA earlier this month.

This will be the second distribution from NCUA; as CUTOday.info has reported, the agency paid out $735.7 million in 2018 as a result of the closing of the Temporary Corporate Credit Union Stabilization Fund, which officially closed in Fall 2017.

The tool can be found at cuna.org/ecnomics, under the "Individual Credit Union Data and Statistics" tab, CUNA explained. 

A financial institution that filed a quarterly Call Report as a federally insured credit union for at least one reporting period in the calendar year 2018 will be eligible for a pro rata distribution. Credit unions using CUNA’s calculator tool can enter their NCUA charter number to get the amount of their estimated equity distribution, the trade association said.

NCUA estimates the distributions will be paid to eligible credit unions starting in the second quarter of 2019.

The Fed offered additional insights into its decision to make no changes to rates.

WASHINGTON–The Fed has released minutes from its March meeting, offering additional insights into its decision to make no changes to rates. As CUToday.info reported earlier, the Fed opted not to change rates at its March meeting and is now indicating it’s unlikely to change rates at all during 2019 and perhaps won’t move again until 2021. President Trump has been pushing the Fed to lower rates to encourage greater growth. Minutes released by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) show the FOMC found the labor market remains strong but that “growth of economic activity has slowed from its solid rate in the fourth quarter.” The FOMC further found payroll employment was little changed in February, but job gains have been solid, on average, in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. “Recent indicators point to slower growth of household spending and business fixed investment in the first quarter,” the Fed said in a statement. “In a...

Fed Minutes Indicate Rate Increases Now on Hold; Cut Could Come in 2024

WASHINGTON–While Federal Reserve officials indicated they remain open to the possibility of again raising rates, minutes released from the Fed’s October meeting show they are more likely to keep rates steady--and one credit union economist sees potential for a rate cut in 2024. “All participants agreed that the committee was in a position to proceed carefully,” said the minutes of the Oct. 31-Nov. 1 meeting state. “Participants expected that the data arriving in coming months would help clarify the extent to which” a slowdown in inflation was continuing amid higher borrowing costs, according to the minutes.  The Fed’s Open Market Committee is set to meet again on Dec. 12-13, but few expect any rate increase to be considered.  "The minutes from the October FOMC meeting reaffirm that the committee believes monetary policy is currently restrictive,” said NAFCU VP-Research Curt Long. “Given the significant moderation in inflation in 2023, NAFCU believes the FOMC i...
