Credit unions’ 60+ day delinquency remained at 0.5% in December like last November.

The loan-to-savings ratio declined to 70.4% in December compared to 70.7% in November. The liquidity ratio (the ratio of surplus funds maturing in less than one year to borrowings plus other liabilities) declined from 19.1% in November to 18.7% in December.
