Banking Conditions
Leverage ratios declined across U.S and Tenth District banks. Asset growth increased as banks built reserves and participated in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) lending, which drove overall loan growth in second quarter 2020. Earnings grew for all Tenth District Banks during the second quarter while earnings declined at all U.S. banks due to continued increase in provisions and net interest margins compression. Problem assets remain low, decreasing for Tenth District banks under $1B, under $250M, and U.S. banks under $10B; however, the remaining Tenth District and U.S. banks experienced a slight uptick quarter to quarter. Certain loan categories saw continued increased noncurrent rates, but coverage ratios remain high.Appeals Process for Material Supervisory Decisions
