NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) releases this month’s edition of the Bank Treasury Newsletter.
In this month’s issue, Bank Treasurers Play What Is the Question?, we look at issues on the minds of bank analysts, given the recent change in interest rate outlook, and their growing doubts that banks can continue to deliver earnings growth given a slew of headwinds, including falling rates, an inverted yield curve, anemic loan demand, and limited capacity to reprice retail deposits to offset lower yields on interest earning assets.
Other topics discussed are the potential earnings boost large regional banks will accrue from the Fed’s recent amendments to bank regulations, implications for bank lending post-implementation of CECL next year, and the transition to SOFR at the end of 2021, which a group of 10 bank treasurers warned in a letter to bank regulators late last month could lead to shortages in credit availability and more volatile bank earnings in times of stress.
