Moody's U.S. Consumer Credit Outlook
Join us on Tuesday, August 20 for our quarterly update of the consumer credit outlook, where we will discuss the current and anticipated trends in household credit conditions.
Topics to be discussed:
- Consumers continue to spend aggressively relative to their incomes, supporting the economy, but implying low savings and potential threats to credit quality.
- The financial condition of households is far from uniform.
- Rising interest rates strain American borrowers.
Join our panel of Moody’s experts: Scott Hoyt, Senior Director and David Fieldhouse, Director, as they discuss their outlook. The presentation will begin with prepared remarks by Scott and David and then dovetail into a fireside discussion between the presenters.
We hope you can join us.
