COVID-19 vaccinations are ratcheting up; another round of fiscal stimulus has been approved; and consumers have a wealth of pent-up demand. What’s more, many consumers have both the capacity and the willingness to spend. Combined, these forces point to a deluge of potential spending activity as we enter the spring season. 

Lenders and service providers can better support consumers by understanding the impact -- both positive and negative -- of the recent recession on their finances.

Equifax presents the latest on the U.S. economy with Amy Cutts, chief economist at AC Cutts & Associates. We also explore key consumer financial insights, including wealth and spending expectations with Equifax experts Tom Aliff, Todd Hoover and Ian Wright.
