KBRA releases a recap of its Consumer ABS Breakfast Briefing, where KBRA hosted issuers, investors, and other structured finance professionals in New York on April 14 to discuss key trends and developments shaping today’s U.S. consumer and small business securitization landscape. The breakfast brought together market participants from across the ABS ecosystem for a series of panels offering timely perspectives on current trends. The program opened with remarks from KBRA’s Global Head of ABS & RMBS, Jack Kahan, who delivered an overview on the state of the consumer. He noted that while the U.S. economy and consumer have remained broadly resilient in aggregate despite a range of macro shocks, pressure has been building at the margin.
