On June 2, The Capitol Forum will host a conference on Subprime Auto Financing.
Key Industry and Policymaker Questions to be Addressed at the Conference:
- Is subprime financing fueling a bubble in the market for used cars?
- What are the parallels and differences between subprime auto lending today and subprime mortgage lending leading up to the financial collapse?
- What are bank regulators, the CFPB and state enforcers doing to police the market?
- Even if banks are relatively less exposed to subprime auto than buy-here-pay-here lenders and non-bank finance companies, is the auto supply chain healthy enough to withstand a lending crisis?
- What ripple effects would a sharp downturn in used car prices cause in the auto industry and to consumers?
- What is the current outlook for defaults and repossessions for subprime borrowers?
