READOUT: Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo’s
Virtual Meeting with the National Association of FederallyInsured Credit Unions
September 28, 2021

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo met virtually
with the National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions (NAFCU) to discuss the U.S.
economic recovery from COVID-19, the need for Congress to raise or suspend the debt limit,
and the Administration’s proposals to grow the economy, among other issues.
Deputy Secretary Adeyemo thanked NAFCU’s members for their continued e orts to support
their communities through the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery, noting that they play an
essential role in their communities and are critical partners to Treasury as the Department
administers programs that benefit families and small businesses. He also underscored the
need for Congress to swi ly raise or suspend the debt ceiling to avoid a default that would
cause serious damage to the American economy. Finally, the Deputy Secretary also
discussed the Biden-Harris Administration’s e orts to close the tax gap and improve tax
compliance by increasing resources for the Internal Revenue Service and its e orts to partner
with financial institutions to provide the IRS with the information it needs to ensure that
high-end earners and corporations pay the taxes they owe.
