NAFCU's Berger joins CNN International, talks coronavirus' economic impact
NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger joined CNN International's Quest Means Business last week to discuss the impact the coronavirus is having on the U.S. and global economies.
"There is going to be an impact, but how deep it is going to be is still too early to be determined. It is going to affect the GDP of countries across the globe, not just the U.S.," said Berger.
While Berger stood firm in his belief that the American economy will be able to weather the storm, he reminded viewers of the importance of remaining vigilant.
"Outbreaks and pandemics have the potential to have a secondary flare up and those are the ones that cause the damage from a longer-term standpoint," added Berger. "My concern is also with China and the CCP, and they are not usually all that forthcoming with accurate numbers and data. But right now [the U.S.] is stable."
For credit unions looking to update their pandemic preparedness practices, NAFCU has compiled a host of helpful resources, including:
- NAFCU’s Compliance Blog post breaking down NCUA guidance on pandemic preparedness and a Pandemic Planning guide;
- NAFCU’s Compliance Blog post focusing on business continuity planning and dealing with emergencies.
- the November/December 2019 edition of The NAFCU Journal, which includes a feature on helping credit unions prepare contingency plans; and
- a webinar, available on-demand, designed to teach credit unions about implementing a business continuity and crisis communication plans.

[02:27] Having a leader who can really communicate cyber risks and understand how ready that institution is to deal with cyber events is incredibly important. [05:36] We need to be talking about risk openly. We need to be documenting and really understanding what remediating risk looks like and how you do that strategically. [16:38] Governance, risk, compliance, and adherence to regulatory controls are all being looked at much more closely. You are also seeing other technology that is coming into the fold directly responsible for helping CISOs navigate those waters. [18:28] The reaction from the governing bodies is directly related to the needs of the position.
