Potential Global Implications

Furthermore, it could potentially weaken investor confidence in the financial sector as a whole, which could have far-reaching implications for the global economy.
Additional Perspectives
According to various online sources, the allegations against Synchrony stem from concerns over the Company’s risk management practices, particularly in relation to its consumer credit portfolio. These concerns were heightened by the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
