Questions about rulemaking under the recently enacted regulatory relief law – with the first hearing set to feature appointees to the four bank and credit union agencies by the current president – will get at least a few answers in the week ahead. The coming week also brings a look at the economic outlook, the credit union regulator’s next board meeting and more.
Here’s a brief run-down:
