It has been nearly two years since the Federal Reserve started their most aggressive tightening campaign since the early 1980s. The interest rate movements have been both quick and great in magnitude. Banks saw their margins expand in 2022 and then start to contract in 2023 as balance sheets eventually felt the full impacts of the rapid rate movements. Many believe the Federal Reserve is close to or possibly done raising rates. Is your balance sheet ready for the next cycle?
This session will discuss the current interest rate environment, banking trends, and balance sheet strategies for today’s environment. Additionally, this section will highlight today’s best practices for asset liability management programs to ensure a favorable regulatory examination.
