Some good news from the State of Colorado Department of Treasury!

Treasury Notes, October 2008
We all have been watching closely as our nation’s credit markets have experienced extreme stress in recent months. The collapse of some of our nation’s largest and longest-standing financial institutions has caused a crisis of confidence – and liquidity – in the global financial system. It is not yet clear how long these challenges will last or how broadly the impacts will be felt.
The good news is that Colorado’s economy is outperforming the rest of the nation. However, poor real estate and credit conditions continue to slow our state’s economy.
