Difficult environment
Unemployment is expected to approach 6% in 2008 with
Detroit approaching 9%.
Current
banking
environment
has
severely
deteriorated.
2008
looks
to
be
the
banking
industry’s
worst
year
in
the
past
two
decades.
While the Fed is aggressively reducing rates to bolster
these markets, credit spreads continue to widen.
Foreclosures will more than double 2007’s elevated levels and
housing depreciation will significantly impact losses on
foreclosures.
Retail sales and consumer spending levels effect
continued talk of recession. A prolonged recession will
increase loss assumptions for 2009 and beyond.
