The data indicated that levels of capital are sufficient to meet any shortfall of loan loss provisioning. However, credit risk, which pose the greatest threat to the sector, requires continued monitoring particularly in countries with increasing NPL levels. Additionally, as credit unions continue to expand their operations and are becoming more significant players in the financial system, several risks are becoming apparent. Risks associated with cybersecurity and fraud are likely to be of greater concern. It is therefore important that credit unions adopt strategies that will strengthen their technological infrastructure and thereby enhance their risk management framework.
