MADISON, Wis.–Credit union lending is likely to continue to slow throughout 2023, to approximately 9%, while the credit union average return on equity (ROE) ratio—considered one of the more important credit union metrics because it determines the long-run sustainable asset growth rate--fell to -7.0% in 2022, from 7.8% in 2021, as rising interest rates reduced the value of available-for-sale investments, according to CUNA Mutual’s latest Trends Report.
