Working Through It -
The Northern Trust Economics team shares its outlook for the U.S. economy
|
|
Shortages have challenged the recovery throughout this year, in a number of ways. Difficulties in supply chains and a slow return to work have persisted, while the costs of energy and housing are on the rise. These conditions are not expected to be permanent, but they are difficult to live through.
Economic growth lost some momentum in the third quarter, but indicators of employment and consumer activity suggest the year will end on a strong note. Holiday spending will provide a boost; not only does consumer demand remain strong, but more families will return to in-person contact after deferring celebrations last year.
It is too soon to say the economy has returned to normal. COVID-19 remains a threat, fiscal policy has become less supportive, and inflation is out of range. But a year of up-and-down recovery should conclude with a few months of cheer.

Troutman Pepper Advisory: OCC Proposes Rescission of June 2020 CRA Rulemaking and Releases FAQs |
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) issued a proposal to rescind its June 2020 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) rulemaking and replace it with previous rules jointly adopted by the OCC, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), the FDIC, and the former Office of Thrift Supervision in 1995. Last year, although the OCC and the FDIC published a joint notice of proposed rulemaking, the FDIC did not ultimately join with the OCC in the June 2020 CRA rulemaking.
The current OCC proposal seeks to create consistency for all insured depository institutions by returning to the 1995 framework, while also strengthening and modernizing the CRA by re-opening the door to joint action between the OCC, FRB, and the FDIC. In an interagency statement, the OCC, FRB, and the FDIC indicated their commitment to work together on developing a joint notice of proposed CRA rulemaking to ensure a modernized framework exists for insured depository institutions to “help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they do business, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.”
