Yellen released the following statement on the joint release of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ( NPR ) related to the Community Reinvestment Act ( CRA ) by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve , the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation . “It is encouraging to see regulators working jointly in their approach to update and strengthen the Community Reinvestment Act – the first comprehensive update in more than twenty five years . The CRA was established in 1977 in response to discrimination in lending , and it remains essential for promoting financial inclusion for all Americans in our banking system . Modernizing the CRA will help financial institutions to better meet the credit needs of the communities in which they do business , including in low and moderate income neighborhoods . We are committed to working with the banking industry and all other stakeholders to ensure that the credit and investment needs of our communities are being met . ” ###
