The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s Supervisory Research Forum (SURF) and Consumer Finance Institute (CFI) hosted their latest event in a conference series examining emerging trends in the auto lending market.
With more than $1.3 trillion in auto loans outstanding, the auto market and its portfolio trends, risks, and consumer impacts are strategically important to the economy. The conference agenda included the status of the auto credit market, industry trends, auto pricing and dealer incentives, competition, and consumer protection. The event aimed to provide regulators, industry experts, and academic contributors an opportunity to share insights on the auto market, auto lending, and consumer welfare in an emerging landscape.
