Economic Outlook

Recent announcements from the current U.S. administration regarding changes in trade policies and other economic policies and practices, including tariffs, have created significant economic uncertainty in the U.S., which could contribute to higher inflation and increase the risk of a recession. Events such as these are outside of our control, but nonetheless may alter customer behavior, including borrowing, repayment, investment, and deposit practices, which could, in turn, adversely impact our business and financial results in future periods. While we cannot predict the potential impact that these changes and economic developments may have on us or our customers, we believe that our diverse businesses, strong capital position, unique deposit profile, and solid risk management framework allow us to operate in a range of economic environments.
