Imagine going back just a year ago - who could have imagined then what 2007 would hold? Who foresaw a credit union “hostile takeover” attempt? A meltdown in the mortgage market (some ignored prognosticators actually did offer warnings)? That the most popular color in credit union branches would become “green?”
Now we have another new year ahead, and in this issue the Credit Union Journal has assembled a host of experts and analysts for their views. While many of the economic forecasts are glum, some see opportunities ahead for credit unions, as the stories at right report.
For a look back at how some of 2007’s major stories played out, make sure to review the Credit Union Journal issue of Dec. 24, which included updates on a number of major stories.
