The Savings and Loan Industry Today

Despite the problems of the 1980s, the S&L industry did survive.

The next two slides show the totals assets and the number of S&Ls in the U.S.







Consistent with the last slides, as the number of S&Ls has fallen, the average assets held by the average S&L has increased throughout the last twenty years (except during the 2007-2009 Financial Crisis).

The next slide shows this graphically.





The next three slides show the following:─ Consolidated balance sheet for the S&L industry─ The net income for S&Ls from 1984-2009─ Average ROE for S&Ls from 1993-2009

Many economists believe that S&Ls will disappear based on these findings. However, this does not appear to be a rapid trend. We may again see deregulation before all is said and done.

Credit Unions

Idea developed in Germany where a group pooled assets to use a collateral for a loan

The loan proceeds were then loaned to members of the group.

Default was rare since all the group members knew each other.
