There are many benefits to be derived from forming this group:  

  • Credit unions will receive views on the economy from the perspective of the  credit union movement;
  • The Federal Reserve appreciates credit union information/data that is timely and is currently not readily available;
  • Credit unions can use economic information for their planning purposes, especially for some who cannot afford to purchase the information;
  • Benchmark forecasts with a credit union perspective can be used by the group’s participants to gauge their forecasts when communicating to credit unions.
  • The credit union economic perspective will be conveyed to the general public. 

Additionally, direct benefits to CUEG members include the opportunity to exchange viewpoints and information.  A positive byproduct of CUEG membership is public visibility that cannot be achieved individually.
