NCUA Board Member Rodney E. Hood Statement on the NCUA’s 2023 Annual Performance Plan

As Prepared for Delivery on January 26, 2023

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the collaborative approach your office took with the other NCUA Board members in developing today’s document. I am delighted to see the ACCESS Initiative included in today’s plan as well as specific deliverables around fintech, including finalizing the loan participation and eligible obligations fintech rule this year.

As we look back to last year's APP, I know Vice Chairman Hauptman has said what gets measured is what gets done. Can someone maybe tell me how many targets were met and how many were not met? Furthermore, can we discuss our goals related to examinations in 2022 and if we reached them? I am particularly focused on our traditional examination and supervisory role.

I have no questions or further comments. Thank you. Mr. Chairman, I yield back my time.
