Compliance benchmark for community lending
Under the Community Reinvestment Act, the OCC assesses an institution's record of serving the credit needs of its entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. Possible ratings are outstanding, satisfactory, needs to improve and substantial noncompliance.The agency said its website provides a searchable list of all public CRA evaluations issued since April 1996. It also publishes a separate list of institutions scheduled to be examined for CRA compliance.
Our earlier article examined how persistent geopolitical tensions and elevated fiscal spending are increasing borrowing and refinancing risks for sovereign issuers in a higher-rate environment. We noted that emerging and frontier markets are especially exposed due to heavier interest-service burdens and narrower revenue bases, while energy and food price shocks can prolong inflation and strain public finances.
