QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

“In today’s environment of heightened uncertainty, consumers are encouraged to prioritize financial prudence, disciplined expense control and effective budgeting to mitigate further stress on their finances.

 

A ‘wait-and-see’ approach may serve the Fed, but not consumers.”

 

— Leslie Adames, director of analysis and economic policy, Estudios Técnicos
