Hyland Says MBL Increase Should Be Gradual; Hood Gives Final Speech

Hyland told attendees at NASCUS’ State System Summit that the agency is reviewing legislation introduced by Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.) to raise the cap from 12.25% of assets to 25% percent and that her position was in her own. She said Congress should give the NCUA the power to raise the cap in stages. It would be better for any increase to “progress at a slow pace” so credit unions can have detailed plans and don’t assume unnecessary risk.
