Assessing Consumer Credit Through Credit Card SecuritizationsJanuary 9, 2008 - 10:00 AM EST (audio only)Credit card master trusts are an excellent bellwether of conditions in consumer credit. We published a recent report on the topic and you can access the report by clicking here (If you need your login details, please email cservices@riskmetrics.com). Our analysis of U.S. credit card securitizations shows that credit quality has deteriorated steadily between early September and the end of November, the traditional start of the holiday shopping season. Do these trends suggest the U.S. consumer is approaching the breakpoint? Furthermore, what insights can we draw from a comparison with U.K. credit card issuers? Please join Analysts from RiskMetrics Group's CFRA Accounting Lens - Global Financials Sector - on Wednesday, January 9th at 10am EST, for a discussion providing a combined perspective on credit card lenders in the U.S & U.K markets.
