…in terms of the U.S., but when you globally look at the consumer, consumer’s in fine shape.“ “Mike Corbat, CEO Citigroup

...the U.S. consumer continues to benefit by strong employment prospects...commercial customers continue “to fare well. " Brian Moynihan, CEO Bank of America
We continue to see a healthy U.S. consumer...While consumer confidence recently moderated a bit, overall “levels are near the highest they've been over the past two decades" Jeff Brown, CEO Ally Financial
...the consumer right now is performing extremely well, we've got 50 employment. Debt servicing levels “are actually at a 39-year low. They're under 10%, and so ability to pay continues to be strong" Jenn LaClair, CFO Ally Financial
