2021: The Path to Economic Recovery for Consumers

In December 2020, Richard Cordray, the first Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, joined California Policy Lab Executive Director Evan White for a wide-ranging conversation about what economic recovery will look like for consumers in 2021.

The conversation covered topics such as:

• How are consumers, and the financial markets that serve them, weathering this unique recession?
• What is the role of credit, lending, lending and financial products for economic recovery?
• How effective have state and federal policy responses been in helping consumers, small business owners, and workers access financial products?
• What innovative approaches might benefit consumers and economic growth?
