2023 Mega Conference: Think Forward
In the world of banking, it is imperative that your initiative stands out and get your institution noticed while remaining true to your brand and furthering your bank’s mission. Join us for our 2023 Mega Conference where we encourage Hoosier bankers to think forward!
Revisiting the economic value of equity
Bank balance sheets were adversely affected in multiple ways by the speed and magnitude of the rising rate environment in 2022. The problems had nothing to do with asset quality, poor lending practices or anything credit related; they were entirely a function of the mathematics of rising interest rates. This fact and the lessons learned point out the critical importance of reliable tools and sound processes for managing liquidity and interest rate risk.
