2002 3rd Quarter Credit Unions Financial Results

Contact:  OFIS (Toll-free) 1-877-999-6442
Agency: Financial and Insurance Services


 

December 10, 2002

Office of Financial and Insurance Services (OFIS) Commissioner Frank M. Fitzgerald today released an overview of the third quarter financial results of the 280 Michigan state-chartered credit unions.

“Michigan’s 280 state-chartered credit unions are in sound financial condition,” said Fitzgerald. “However, the financial stresses evident in the September 2002 statistics highlight the continuing need for sound management practices by credit union officers and board members in an uncertain economic environment.”

Positive factors identified during the third quarter include a 1% growth in credit union membership, a 5.3% increase in total assets, and a strong 1.8% growth in loans.

Areas of concern include weak earnings results, a continuing weakness in investment return, and a decrease in annualized asset growth rate compared with the first half of 2002.

Additional information can be found on the OFIS web site at http://www.michigan.gov/cis/0,1607,7-154-10555_12900_13354---,00.html.
