illion, a decrease of $116 million or 6% from $1.90 billion for the Prior YTD, as a lower rate paid was partially offset by the impact of a higher average balance. 

◦Interest expense on borrowings for the Current YTD was $695 million, an increase of $22 million or 3% from $673 million for the Prior YTD, primarily due to a higher average balance and rate paid as a result of the Linked Quarter Debt Issuances. 

•NIM for the Current YTD was 3.26%, a decrease of 40 bps from 3.66% for the Prior YTD. NIM compression was mainly due to the unfavorable impacts of lower yields on loans and interest-earning deposits at banks, a mix shift from interest-earning deposits at banks to investment securities, a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits, lower PAA, and a higher average balance and rate paid on borrowings, partially offset by the favorable impacts of a decline in the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits and a higher average balance of loans. NIM, excluding PAA,(1) was 3.13% for the Current YTD, a decrease of 23 bps from 3.36% for the Prior YTD. 

◦The yield on average interest-earning assets for the Current YTD was 5.67%, a decrease of 58 bps from 6.25% for the Prior YTD, mainly due to declines in yields on loans and interest-earning deposits at banks, as well as lower loan PAA, partially offset by a higher yield on investment securities.

◦The rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities for the Current YTD was 3.20%, a decrease of 32 bps from 3.52% for the Prior YTD, primarily due to a lower rate paid on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by the impacts of a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits, and a higher average balance and rate paid for borrowings as a result of the Linked Quarter Debt Issuances.
