MADISON, Wis.–The World Council of Credit Unions is hosting a webinar today titled “A Virtual Global Financial Symposium: Preparing Credit Unions for 2022.” It begins at 8 a.m. ET.
“The economic impacts of COVID-19 are still being felt throughout the world, with some regions facing deeper and longer-lasting negative effects than others,” WOCCU said. “Along with the impacts being felt on a national and regional level, credit unions face their own unique set of financial challenges going forward.”
WOCCU said the virtual event is designed to help credit unions prepare for the long-lasting impacts of the pandemic, as well as a post-COVID future. It will examine global economic forecasts for the year ahead and provide specific indicators credit unions should be looking at as they prepare for 2022, WOCCU added.
